any one try ireland engineering BBK?

[///M3 CRAZY]

looks good and the price seems right. any info on it?

Doesnt look like much of an upgrade from stock...

Main advantages im seeing listed here...

2 piece rotors with aluminum hats (cool, but you could get euro floating rotors too), 2 pistons (curious on piston size), and aluminum calipers.

To me, I'd rather invest in SS lines, good pads, ATE superblue fluid. Save yourself 700 bucks.

All the info? Or ss lines, new fluid and pads?

If you do have this setup, are you still fading your brakes on the track?


My vote is still for sketch. Try looking into some Willwoods for good pricing and performance gains too.

i meant the parts. and i don't track the car. but i drive hard and just almost doubled the hp of the car. so i am affraid that with the new setup i will be carrying more momentum and it will be more difficult to stop. currently i am leaning towards the 13 inch stoptech kit. but i would love to save a little money as that is really expensive.

Hmmm...well, rule of thumb for common sense says, "If you're driving fast enough on the street to fade your brakes, you're driving WAY too fast and aggressive." Especially true for M3 brakes, which arent really that easy to fade.

With bbk's, you wont see a decreased stopping distance, or at least it wont be noticable. In theory, it will, but not enough over the stock system to really make that much of a difference. With my brembo bbk (332mm w/ 4pistons), I only notice the difference at the track towards the end of a 20 minute session.
