Eurosport front with EuroCode rear currently and love em.

Can you post the torque specs for the bolts? Believe they were higher than stock when I installed. Probably going to be swapping suspension and want to make sure they get tightened down right.

Does the front add any feel? Does it weigh much?

Pretty light and definitely stiffens up the front of the chassis a bit under hard/quick steering inputs. Feels a little more lively and direct.

I'd second what @mrmattolsen said. I looked into the eurosport strut tower brace after I did my RSB, mainly because I felt I was getting twist/flex up front.

Definitely stiffened up the front. Things are much more level on turns, especially pulling into my parking spot over uneven ground.

Exactly my path. Rear sway went in and then front felt too “flexy”

Always amazed how fast Tire Rack delivers. V730’s arrived

Given I'm on metal camber plates, I wonder if the incremental increase in feel will be as pronounced, either way rhanks for sharing

Special delivery from Zhong Zhong:

Quality isn't quite where I was hoping it would be but it feels decent enough in hand. Definitely meatier than the stock wheel, and I'm reasonably happy with the style.

I've ordered tires and then nearly tripped over them the next morning.

It's crazy.

Looks much better than the first one they made. It got here pretty damn quick. Didn't they ship it beginning of this week?

That’s what I thought but Ali says it shipped April 17… which feels impossible since we were still going back and forth on changes back then. There must be shenanigans afoot but it’s here and it’s good enough so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Stupid request but can you share some pics of your rotors after a good spirited drive. I've got the same rotors and the fuckers blued after one spirited drive with a M3. I do have Step Tech streets with them so they may be a bit too much pad. Have replacement front rotors but thought I had a decent street set up for the drive to work....in Mexico.

*no visable cracks

My Zimmerman’s blued after a hard stop from triple digits. I’m running the EBC red stuff pads all around. The bluing faded (for the most part, still some small areas) after a few days of normal driving with no adverse side affects that I can tell.

 

[StorableComa]

Got these bad boys in. Now to clean them up and test fit to see if I need a wheel spacer. Then decide what color to paint them with Midnight blue metallic and gunmetal wheels.

Have another set coming in if anyone else might be interested in a set of 986/987 4 pot front calipers for 312mm rotors.

Is it just me or did @Acadia18 's look better for whatever reason?
