    Default Slightly Bigger brakes for 525 / 535 / 530

    I am buying 4 calipers and carriers from 540/7xx that use the 302 x 28 vented front rotor and 300 x 20 vented rear rotors from Nelson at Bavarian Auto Recycling in Rancho Cordova CA.

    The price is 40 plus 15 shipping for front and same for rear. Thus, for $110, plus the cost of new rotors and pads, when I do my brakes, I'll have 540 brakes on my 535. Not a huge improvement I'm sure but nonetheless an improvement at not a lot of $$.

    The 535/525/530 come with 302 x 22 front and 300 x 10 non-vented rear rotors.

    Can still run my 15" winter wheels with Blizzaks with no clearance problems.

    Mike, if you haven't done business with them before, be wary.
