ECS Caliper Bushing Set : anyone use it yet?

Has anyone used the ECS Caliper Bushing Set? I'm probably going with the kit from BW, but this came up in a quick google search.

i haven't, but i've been eyeballing it. in theory it should definitely improve pedal feel. only downside i can think of is rotor warping if for some reason the caliper and disc are out of plane with each other.

Right, that would be another issue of its own! My only concern is that I haven't seen these tested yet. I'd hate to throw them on and burn up a set of Ht10's because the bushing tolerances weren't correct.

Seems like ECS is generally good about the customer service, but if things went south - you'd be looking at a refund on the bushing set alone at best.

Who's going to bite the bullet first?

I remember years back someone saying that they cause binding.... can't remember whether it was here or on Bimmerforums I think they were talking about the ones from bavauto... same design...

had it on my stock M brakes. Liked it under heavy braking, not as noticeable under normal driving.

I've been running the same caliper bolts for a couple of years without any issues. I have the Turner kit. Not a big difference in normal driving, although I'll bet it improves pad wear. I clean and re-lube them every 6 months.
