The Best Brake Set Up.
Yup,
Tried most of them and this set up is behond all... The Brake Man, shaved over 20lb from the stock set up. Monoblock design.
This set up has a wonderful pedal feel with adequate pedal travel (great for modulation).
Got them from Forced Performance.

Brake Man #3 pads and also Brake Man brake fluid (switch from Castrol SRF)...
On the course, they are very linear and predictible.
For instense, PF01 (good stuff) have a strong initial bite, these are more linear with pedal travel (that I love).
Going back to the track next Friday (MSR), should have times...
Also, the steering response has improved from the weight saving. I changed the car height... 19inch in the front and 18.5 rear. Feels better but I have to wait and track the car to get a true feel.
I am pushing FP to also get rear rotors from The Brake Man. More weight saving
My car weight 3308 with 3/4 of a tank of gas and my lard ***... 185lb...

Regardless, I choose funtion over looks.
I've heard really bad things about brake man products before but I think that was more with those lame wavy rotors they had/have.
These look pretty beefy.
What pad size does it use?

There is an M3 at MSR who run in the 1'19's... And what set up does it have... Brake Man...
I will try to get a few local evo guys to ride with me at the track for their feedbacks. To me, brakes are equally important to chassis tuning and power... My car makes well over 400whp and they do a killer job. Try all you want, but if you want THE BEST, this is it.
