Hello all,

My car is at that stage in it's life where it needs brakes and suspension (specifically bushings).

I am considering new rotors, since I will be under there anyway. I have heard others tout gas slotted, cold treated, heat treated, etc. Not being an expert (or even well educated) in these things I am looking for some advise. Brake pad material...rotors...etc. I have decided that I am not going to go with different calipers, but I may put in braided lines.

I am also going to replace the bushings while I am under there...does anyone know of a polyurethane kit out there for an 850CSi? I see all kinds for M3's, etc, but nothing for an 8-series.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance,

Len Cacioppo

94 850CSi
