It's an ESS supercharger (top of the range CFR 525 i think), and not cheap...!

Would never butcher a CSL with a supercharger...as a limited model a standard car will always be desirable in the future. If you want to mess with the engine do it to a standard M3 I say......

I'd agree with this. But i guess if the owner has millions he can just buy another CSL if he wants an original one!

Be warned that the AP disk's will crack with the RS29 pads, and will with the PF too

Is that with PF discs you mean? When you say crack... how long will they last beforehand?

Why would you use a pad that cracks the disc, especially after spending all that money on them.

I'm sure the cracking is limited to extreme cases? It's certainly the first i've heard of it. Simpson said for me to fit Pagid RS29 for the track next season.

Beyond that they recommend swapping the worn discs/pads for Performance Friction discs and pads. The biggest expense of the brake upgrade are the AP calipers themselves after all - which are compatible with a wide range of disc/pad setups...
