The model is working well enough that Turner now offers lifetime returns. I’ve done plenty of FCP Euro returns, but haven’t tried Turner yet. |

I did want to bring up another option that I’m curious for someone to try. I have a front AP 9660 setup that I’ve run 378x36mm with for some years and recently found well priced replacement discs from Paragon and they also have their own BBK’s.
I have one open track day on Paragon’s rear 380x34mm AP 9449 style rear BBK and it seems to be doing great. IDK anyone that’s tried their front BBK on an M2, but upfront BBK and disc replacement costs are compelling: https://paragonbrakes.com/track-perf...f82-f83-front/ Some of the vendors here know Paragon and I can connect anyone to their tech team if you’d like to get into the minutia with them. You can spec any of their kits with AKB springs, whatever disc faces you want, and they’ll fab custom brackets and hats to any spec, if needed. Very helpful guys! |

They are also very familiar with Alcon. I have to believe that they've tested the market and created their own idea of what a good caliper should be. I'd love to hear other's thoughts about this.

One friend of mine did mention more pad knock back though, I think the discs are thinner? |

My time is valuable. The rear pads take me about 10min per side. The fronts take me about 30min per side. After the wheels are off.

To me it be really annoying to have to go to the shop after every track day. I just leave the track pads on the car. Sure they can be loud but whatever. Get free rotor replacements from fcp euro. That said I don't drive the car all that much. |

Farkle used a bungee cord. An upside-down bucket might work too.

I just use an upside-down box haha. I found one that was the perfect height and have used it for a couple of years now (it’s a strong box, albeit cardboard!)
