No noise from the brakes, and no fading at all. An absolute and enormous improvement over the regular ones.
So much fun

Great feedback! I bought a set of RSL29 but I am waiting for the OEM ones to wear. Did few sesions on the OEM ones and also no fading. Just ugly noise after 10+ minutes. But it's gone after driving normal a little bit. I still have ~7mm on front with the OEM ones

Swapping them is dead easy. I would really consider putting the Pagid for your track sessions.
I thought the OEM ones were ok until I tried the RSL 29. There is HUGE difference. It's a totally different experience.
For the noise issue from the race pads I think a proper bedding in is essential (see other treads or Pagid Website for explanations on the way to do it).

Is that 3M gloss Battleship Grey by any chance?

Whow that is by far the coolest hood for the M2... How much does cost the part?

Hi Peasley, it's actually Avery Dennison gloss dark grey. I find the 3M Battleship grey slightly too light under the sun.

I'll share more photos once the car is done

Wide angle mirror for the driver side. Got a used one in excellent shape from ebay for about $100 with shipping. Much better blind angle coverage.

The part number is 51167285005

switzerr · 09-29-2018, 09:05 AM

Passed the sound check at the track, and did 20 laps or so. Mostly gentle, as I have zero faith in the stock brakes after coming from my M3 running PFC 11 compound pads, with proper track rated fluid.

WOW. I can’t wait to get it dialed in given its brilliance in stock form.

lax01 · 09-29-2018, 03:43 PM

First fill up in 43 days...just did a leisurely drive in Malibu and up the Snake (empty except for a lot of cops)

Broken Speedometer · 09-29-2018, 09:12 PM

Installed gold 763m wheels.

Pyrat 2 · 09-29-2018, 10:35 PM

Took it into the shop for a few minor issues. Charge pipe popping off and alignment after new tire install.

I may bump into you on the Snake! I drive that road at least a couple times a week!

///Cardia · 10-01-2018, 12:54 AM

Added IND ///M Mirrors, Fall Line Motorsports Tow Strap, and IND Tow Strap Cover.

I did a little racing to my OG MG...

DanG · 10-03-2018, 09:33 PM

Drove from Bend OR to Seattle with trip by Mt. Hood. Great driving and extremely pleasurable in the Beast.

You need winter tires for that at this point?
