Factory brake calipers slide on guide pins through rubber bushings. This design is adequate and widely used from the factory by BMW. For more precise braking, bronze bushings and 304 stainless steel guide pins allow for a more positive feel at the pedal and more even pad wear. ECS Performance Caliper Guide Bushings are C544 bronze to complement anti-seize, providing additional lubrication - all of which is held in place by an integrated o-ring and dust cap. Working in concert with new stainless steel guide pins allows for a much longer service life and less maintenance.

You've heard it all before - “Good, cheap, or fast: pick two.” It's time to forget all of that. The Good – Shark Injector software is dyno-tuned by BMW expert Jim Conforti, designed to preserve driveability & prevent damage. The Fast – Raises the rev limit and improves mid-range torque & high-RPM horsepower. Plug & play push-button installation in 30 minutes or less. The Cheap – Dyno-proven double-digit gains in horsepower & torque, priced far less than other modifications.
