Published stock braking distance from 60 mph is 125 feet. Stickier tires will make more of a difference than brakes will, most often, at low speeds. My braking tests with Dragy showed identical results with X5 50i front brakes and Firestone Firehawks on shit pavement around town.

I couldn't find braking distances from 100+ mph speeds, but I can tell you the bigger brake setup is far superior there. Instead of smoked brakes and white knuckles, it just hauls down. Fast. Confidence inspiring, rather than frightening.

Thanks Hardparker. Your hardware made it all possible, the calipers lined up perfectly!

To answer your question yes I used the stock brake lines and wear sensor.

The wheels are Bravado Tribute's they are not a direct bolt-on because they are mainly marketed for Camaros so the center bore is to small for our cars. I had to have a machine shop machine the center bore from 60mm to 72.6mm 20x9.5F 20X11R.

I'm still waiting for the curved decals so I went with these in the mean time. Stepped out of my comfort zone with the color combo. I think they look great. Some new pics below. I also took some of the spacers installed.

Have you looked into a solution to black out the OEM roof rails?

My F25 is CBM with the "chrome" roof rails. I want to black the rails out!

Yeah I'll get around to it eventually. I'll probably spray them with one of the plasti dip solutions to keep it simple. Either that or wrap them.

Can you take some measurements so I can see if these fit with the 2015 wheels? Thanks!

Good job. You did something a lot of people talked about, but never did. With the G01 and F97 (or whatever the X3M platform is), i'm not sure a lot of us F25/F26 enthusiasts will get a lot of love, but this is a very nice add. Have fun!

What size are your wheels? I'll try and get some measurements this weekend, it is doubtful they will fit any less 20" wheels
