I'll still keep all those mods except I'll go back to around 1.5deg rear camber. I need new tires, my current 255 PSS's were very difficult to get to somewhat fit. Now I'll just have to check everything out very closely and decide whether to risk going up to 265s, probably not.
Congrats on the successful mod. What rear rotor did you use?
Bmw e91/e87 perf or F10?

If you used f10 maybe that's why you had some minor issues

265 has been run before, so I hope you can too. Usually requires camber, the right wheels and/or fender roll. Can I ask about your wheels, what specs they are, maybe the inner part now is close to the shock body


E brake applies to 128i's
With f10 rotors the 135 needs an adjustment of brake shoe spread distance using the usual brake adjustment knob
