ZPOST - View Single Post - Pad Knockback

Verified my pads are not 'tight', but snug. I can move them in/out without issue.

Any thoughts on mine being a 3.0si (330i E46) front spindle/mcpherson strut design vs the Z4M's E46 M3 spindle being stronger? I haven't seen many 3.0si's with BBKs commenting on knockback.

I also wonder - I use 7075 T6 Alum lug nuts. Could they be too compliant where the wheel and rotor actually move during high G turns? I suspect I'm the only one here on aluminum lug nuts. I can run steel next time, but my last resort is to install the 4lb springs into the caliper. I have an event in 4 weeks to test this out.
