Dont be mistaken, this isn't all an effort for king of my track. It's purely just to keep up to modern stock turbo r35's at the track. Unlike you guys I get my jollies not having to point by BMW "the ultimate driving machine".

 

Bit of a schmoe you are. Shouldn't have to point these BMW's by even with Brembos if your car is set up right and has decent pads and cooling - I suspect either springs or rake aren't where they should be given that I recall some comment at some point about you fitting less aggressive pads in the rear in order not to have too much braking in the rear ...

The reason bigger brakes are on beamers is that M3's are somewhere between 3500-3700# and they need more brake and for that reason come with 18" and 19" OEM wheels. But if you want to play stop whining and put your money where your mouth is.

Chassis set-up and driver training will likely give you more bang for your buck to stay ahead of other traffic

 

...or just get good pads, rotors, fluid and learn how to drive. You shouldn't have to point many by if at all

 

Watch the video and tell me that evo driver doesn't know how to drive as he has to point by.

 

interesting point. i think i've had to give a point-by to a Limited-class GTR once.. but that thing was a full-on race car. now that i think of it, i don't really point anyone by. i feel coo now LOL

 

Still think OP needs to go all out on the Stock brake setup before he goes bigger.

His fluid is really subpar when compared to the best.

 

I read the first few pages and stopped. HOW HAS NO ONE SUGGEST TITANIUM PAD HEAT SHIELDS???

Dont worry OP. I will come up to BC and kick your *** on my stock brake setup all day long.

 

It was mentioned. Some of aren't sure if we like keeping so much heat in the pads and rotor.

 

I have ti backing plates. Yeah please make a video of your lap 1:16 on street tires with stock brakes.

 

OP was referring to stock pads and fluid too. Very important to know.

 

Uh no st43's and racing blue, are not stock. The only thing that is stock are these poo calipers you guys worship.

 

Ay, make up your mind.

 

poop for power? my stock block turbo e46 m3 makes 720whp on 19 pounds lol....

 

Quote me where I've said otherwise.

 

okay:

so my setup is okay because i'm not in "stock form" even though i'm not using a BBK?. so you are saying the stock setup won't hold up to hard track driving? or...? which is it?

even going back four years, this thread and the post you refer to mentions, "The Evo brakes WILL fade in stock form and they are not as strong."

so are you talking about stock brakes (pads/fluids/etc) or the caliper and rotors themselves? you are using an old thread that shows the shortcomings of the OEM brake setup as proof that those of us with upgraded fluids and pads are being ridiculous.
you can't compare off-the-show-room evo brakes to a BBK on any car.
