This caliper bushing kit will eliminate flex caused by weak rubber caliper bushings. As the brake pedal is pressed the caliper grabs the rotor and twists on its mounting bushings. The rubber bushings allow the caliper to deflect and twist which affects pedal feel and results in uneven pad wear. These solid brass bushings will not twist or deflect so your calipers can squeeze the pads evenly on both sides of the rotor (sort of like what multi-piston big brakes do). This will give you much longer pad life and a more consistent pedal feel. This is the most complete kit we have ever sold with stainless steel caliper slide bolts, o-rings, and new dust boots. Unlike other kits, these bushings are pressed into the caliper and will not shift or slide on their own.
Installation is straightforward: remove the old rubber bushings and press in the new brass bushings (we recommend special tool 003326ECS03). High temp caliper grease or anti-seize is required. The new bushings include an inner o-ring that helps trap grease on the slide bolt, reducing friction and wear.

For most models with floating calipers. Fits the rear of E90/2 and E60, but for the front you'll need the kit found here. Does not fit E30 models with Girling calipers, but is compatible with Ate calipers.
PRESSURE BRAKE BLEEDER:
We know bleeding brake alone is not only no fun, but much more complicated than it needs to be. Having a pressure bleeder give you the ability to keep the pressure on the brake system while you go under and crack open the bleeder screws to relieve the air pockets.
Features:
FLUID CATCH BOTTLE:
keep your fluid's off the floor and into our catch bottle. The bottle has fluid level markings from 0.2L to 0.7 liter. This feature allows you to measure how much fluid you have sent thru the system. Our bleeder bottle features an expandable/collapsible top portion for easier storage. Gasket in cap prevents leakage. Tubing is extra long at 24" from cap to nipple. Flexible hose can be pushed down into bottle for storage when done. Bottle now features a handy hanger bracket to hang bottle from bottom of car.
