While you are at it are you doing stainless steel brake lines?

no didn`t really think of it, maybe because the lines that are on are good and they are not visible when the tire and wheel is on so it will not add to the looks of the red caliper and the brembo cross drilled rotors

Interested in your opinion on braking power after you install it. I have the exact same setup on my 740il (Brembo x-drilled rotors & Axxis deluxe pads), but won't put it on my X until after the warranty expires.

I can tell you that it's brake dust free. I love that part of it!
