Dinan just started work on a low compression piston version of the
supercharger kit that is projected to make 425 HP.  Should be available end
of this year.

The cost of the floating rotors (not calipers) are about $150 to 170 each.
Your price will vary depending on source.  The rotors are a bolt on
replacement for the stock rotor.

Yes, the floating rotors are from that source and have a BMW part No.  The
stock design is indeed exceptional and no improvement over stock will be
noticed except at the track with repeated high speed use.  Or perhaps on the
Autobahn. 

The best and most cost effective upgrade for me was the Dinan Stage 3
suspension.  And I am a horsepower freak.  No penalty for the street and
works great at the track.  The car is still much better than I am.
