Thanks! I drove a 400 mile trip with them yesterday. Still can't get used to this car not squealing with braking, but it is amazing. I apparently learned to modulate my braking for the point just short of where the stock pads would squeal (anything more than moderate pressure). Not a peep out of the iSweeps.

They definitely brake better than the stock pads. On threshold braking they will get ABS to kick in sooner than the stock pads did for sure, but they are very forgiving and easy to modulate and I am already used to them so not worried about accidentally kicking in ABS (and who is threshold braking on the street other than something unexpected jumps out in front or you? I just like to know how they will act in case).

Dust is brown-colored like the stock pads. If the stock pads are considered "Heavy dusting" I would classify these (iSweep 2000s) as "Low to Moderate dusting" after this trip. Honestly I don't care about dusting, no squealing, great performance. These are great pads, can't believe I didn't do them sooner! No longer cursing BMW every time I come to a stop, I love this car!

I have the IS1500s, which are fine by me. Super low dust and it is light colored so doesn't show up on silver wheels. I never had any squeaking with stock pads.

Installed H&R VTF Adjustable Lowering Springs drop 1.2" front and 1" rear with Future Classic spacers 15mm front and 18 mm.

Definitely happy with how it looks, much better than stock height, and have not felt any noticeable difference in ride quality yet.

Shout out to Luc@Speed&Tech for the fantastic work. Greatly recommend working with him.

Got stuck behind a truck that unbeknownst to me was dripping white paint from the bed. Driver side managed to run it over and of course splattered the wheel wells (and tires are blotted up). Denatured alcohol was able to clean up alot of liner but not all. Annoying AF honestly though could have been way worse as I haven't seen any on the body paint or other obvious exterior areas.

I guess it'll just speed up the dropping of the MP HAS the rest of the way down and swapping the oem tire sizes to 285 front and 305 rear (19x10 f 20x11 r still on the oem ps4s) to further cover the gap / areas.

I suppose could always look at replacing the actual liners but if it's only minimally visible after the above then may be able to live with it. Time shall tell lol.

Recently installed the VTF kit as well along with Vorshlag plates and Millway monoball thrust arm bearings, I'm really happy. Think I need to drop the front just a smidge more though, and the alignment shop was afraid to remove the EDC connector so they didn't even adjust the camber, so it's about -2.7 up front, which I know is high, but honestly the street manners are still quite good, so I may not reduce it. Ride quality difference is minimal IMO. Steering feels better than before for sure. Went zero toe up front.

Sorry for the late reply, my email notifications were off.
Thanks for the compliment! I really like the exhaust. I got the sound kit so it's nice to have the option of allowing either the car's mode or turning it on. When it's on, it's a bit loud, but I don't think I'd call it obnoxious. But when it's off it's just as quiet as stock. I'll try to record it if you'd like.

As for the body kit, I think someone already posted a link to my other post with all my mods. Let me know if you didn't see it.

Damn that sucks but luckily it didn't get on the paint!

Looks awesome! Did you add any spacers?

WhiteRqbbit · 09-26-2024, 12:46 PM

These are just some crappy pics; not sure if it has any benefits... but I added some 992 GT3rs style roof fins - Fit surprisingly well.

jessejericho · 09-26-2024, 09:20 PM

My VT Forged GS5.R came in yesterday, got them mounted and installed today. Quick photo shoot before my photographer buddy comes down for a proper one.

No offense but that looks dumb as hell.. and most definitely has 0 benefits

blue135 · 09-27-2024, 01:53 PM

But then it is his car to do with as it suits him.

None were taken.

Verus made some vortex generators for the roof, which had a different purpose, but I will probably never know if they have an impact. The original intent behind them was to keep the heated air from the hood from going over the wing. Granted, that hood is designed differently than my hood vent. Net 0 probably, but I'll keep them—they are pretty subtle when looking at the car as a whole.
