Kinda a wanted thread (sorry)

I'm after a set of front brake carriers so I an run CSL discs on my M3

What do you guys reckon the chances are of finding some second hand?
Do a lot of you upgrade to BBK's and keep the old parts or do they come up occasionally?

£340 from BMW seems very steep lol

seems cheap to me, i sold my spare set for £400 but woulnt sell my original set.

Im sure someone with APs will decide better cash in the pocket than calliers in the shed

That's what I was thinking :)

The K-sport 8 pot setup is around £950 - so by the time you've bought CSL discs, pads and carriers at £750 - it's quite expensive for not much of an upgrade

My discs and pads all need replacing so was thinking if I could find some carriers cheap enough I could replace with CSL stuff instead of standard. If I can't find any cheap carriers I'm tempted to just go with the K-Sport kit
