OEM E90

are you running smaller wheels? I am wondering why not do the F8X M rotors?

I buy from FCP Euro so rotors cost me the price of shipping. Also, wanted to try the brakes on track with OEM rotors for comparison before upgrading rotors.

Gotcha. Thanks for the response. I plan on going the 380mm when/if I get mine. Look forward to seeing them installed on yours and your thoughts.

Curious why didn't you get them done stateside or atleast locally?

Color matching, and it was actually slightly cheaper than the local/US places I was initially looking at.

How many other guys are waiting on their BBK's?

Yeah by memory there were at least 6+ guys in the GB (I bought mine before the GB)

Just FYI,

I ordered a G2 paint kit for my rears in Porsche Speed Yellow and requested the same color with code from Slonik for the fronts. The color matches perfectly.

Is brake kits the only thing that is outstanding? Are people missing DCT oil pans or side covers?

Trying to get a DCT side cover for my DCT service (already got Slon's pan). I'm trying to gauge if I should wait or just replace with OEM side cover. If I'm dropping the DCT, I'd rather put in Slon's side cover too.

I’m still waiting on my bottom pan, on the upside it looks like brake kits have started to ship so hopefully once those all go out pans will start to ship too.

Like many of you I received the fronts that were part of the latest group buy. They look awesome!

Still waiting on the rears to ship or show up. Been over a month since the fronts shipped and haven’t heard anything from Slonik since 9/24.

Thats great news, I am still waiting for my rear brakes, I placed my order on july 10th and that was the last time I got an answer for him. I have sent him countless messages and no answer, I even opened a claim with paypal and still no answer, still waiting.

Have your rear brakes come in or have you heard anything?

I downloaded the whatsapp app messaged Mikhail and he responded ASAP saying he'll check the status of my order on Monday.

So guys I reccomend contacting him via whatsapp? (google slon workshop then at bottom of the page has contact details click on whatsapp link and it opens up so you can message him via the app when you have it installed)

It's been 4 months so yeah hopefully its started at least

Let us know if he responds to you. I did the same... and he told me the same thing... that was over a month ago. I am trying to be patient. But with $4k into this, it makes it a bit challenging...

Sure will do!

Frustrating thing is you can't just demand a refund as theres no one else out there doing this unless you want to go for uber exxy brembo gt kit

No not yet, I did message him for a reminder

He won't respond. Although I hope I am wrong. And now that I think about it, he seems to only respond to "NEW" numbers/contacts from WhatsApp. I've messaged him about once a week since I last heard from him. No response...

Ahh OK I guess he's sick of the constant nagging from everyone (not that's any excuse!)

I know when I'm extremely overloaded at work and you have 20 different ppl wanting everything at once it gets stressful and overbearing, but I dont just put my head in the sand and ignore them all

Hi, is there anybody still waiting for slon brake kit?
I wanted to know many are still waiting
Thanks
