Combinging the larger rotor kit along with the piston rebuild kit has seemed to eliminate that issue as the brakes run much cooler. I had the cracking issue with the originals...but a lot of the issue had to do with uneven pad pressures glazing the rotors.

The new setup is highly highly recommended. The pedal feel alone is worth it

Any updates on this? Price? How to order?

Are you using the RB brake lines as well?

Also, what is RB's email address? I have tried to contact them through the website but it's not working. Also, they don't have any email address listed which is unusual.

I don't have the RB lines on, as I already had SS lines on my car. Honestly best way to contact them is to either just order through the website or call them. Surprised to hear that they aren't responding to your emails. I have noted though that sometimes it takes Warren a day or two to get back. He's normally pretty good about it

There is no email listed on his website so I haven't been able to email him yet. Can you tell me his email address?

Only way to contact him is by filling out the enquiry on his website which is not working.

I'm wondering if the positions alone will stop the surface cracks. I might test that out.

I wish i had glass calipers so people could see the pistons haha.

Yes you are correct, 128i rear does not accept 135i rears 100%, they mount but no e-brake/handbrake. A different bracket/mount point is needed. Otherwise you live without hand brake.

But the 128i BMP BBK includes an updated rear caliper, and that is about it for the rears. So 135i front only & stock 128i rear is alright. This has been used by the user Pushkin & his tracked 128i. I spoke to him about it, he didn't even bother with bias update @ dealer.

Andrey_gta, Would you happen to know the part number for this bracket/mount for the ebrake?

I am starting to think this is more of a hassle than what it is worth.
