Are we just pre-ordering the fronts since the rear are marked in-stock?

The fronts are BMW specific and must be created. They get batches of 10 from the manufacturer hence the 10 minimum we are trying to reach before they put in the order. |

They shipped out the rear order already. So just waiting on the fronts.
Gonna put these on with the stock pads for my first track day. I’ll probably end up fading the brakes still heheheheh |

I can confirm the rears indeed shipped out for me as well. So we just need more people to get the fronts. |

Ive ordered front and rear. Will be worth it if it helps save the dust boots.

Titanium is something like 10 time better insulator than aluminum and stainless is probably 20-30% more than Titanium. If you combine the two you are netting something (whatever it is) and the stainless pistons are already there so I wouldn't jump to snake oil. My main goal is to keep the radiant heat from the pad backing away from the piston boots. The slight decrease in piston temp (not boiling fluid) is an added bonus, but to what degree I don't know. But why ti and not ss? No clue, are there stainless shims available and would they be more or less expensive? |

I always assumed they were titanium in the CCB to reduce weight, I never figure it also helped with heat deflection. I can see how that can be helpful on hard-core track usage. Cool stuff, thanks; you learn something new here everyday.. |

If you ever boil water in a stainless pot vs aluminum you can see the difference in speed to boil. Aluminum actually cools down faster but they usually pit and is generally sub par material for caliper piston anyway. I think Centric makes a ton of these pistons and is who I got mine from when rebuilding any E30 calipers. I always try to get stainless where I can. |
