Alright, so tonight I ordered:
A black label Motive Power Bleeder,
Two Motive Bleeder bottles (never had to do brakes but usually just let the clutch run onto the floor, figured I try something more professional)
2 Liters of ATE Super Blue (the sales pitch of it being blue making it easy to tell when brakes fully bled got me)
4 ATE Caliper rebuild kits from Pelican (more expensive than RockAuto but that place still sketches me out a little on certain parts)
Plan to grab some G2 Caliper Paint as well.
So I still have the Optima at home and I also managed to pick up a jack for my birthday which is waiting for me at home as well. Will probably limp the car home in 2 weeks to do all the calipers. Might throw the battery in as well if I figure out a mount for it or I will just wait until Thanksgiving break.
I did happen to see that I can get 6 Bosch Ignitions Coils for $280 on RockAuto with the boots which I find wierd becasue they are much more expensive for non-bosch ones everywhere else. Any input on this? Are bosch ones shit? I am used to Bosch being the good shit in the equation on most things.
EDIT: Looking at Pelican, the Bosch Coils look like they are for the 323 and 328 while the M3 uses a Bremi/STI. Could this just be that Pelican doesn't stock Bosch Coils for the M or did they never have Bosch Coils?
