Hello all, this is my first post on this forum and I'm afraid it's a question. I don't have an M3 CSL but a Z4M Coupe - I hope that you won't all shun me as it shares some of the same components as the M3 CSL (although sadly not the engine upgrades or incredible induction noise)
.
I regularly track my ///M and find the stock brake setup ok but it lacks consistent pedal feel and can overheat (even with uprated fluid and EBC Bluestuff pads which purport to be for "race use only"). I'm planning to fit a supercharger this year and in preparation for this I'm undertaking a complete overhaul of the brakes and suspension. In February I'm fitting KW Clubsports with camber/castor plates, H&R ARBs front and rear, RTAB limiters, RE rear top mounts, OEM front strut tower reinforcing plates, and VT competition engine mounts. I'm looking for a BBK that will allow me to use all of this to its maximum potential and will handle what I hope will be over 500bhp.
Lawsy, I've been considering an Alcon BBK kit for a while having seen it advertised on eBay. The stock Z4M brakes are the same as those of the M3 CSL but I'm unsure if the BBK you're selling will fit the Z4M. Do you have any experience of this? My concerns relate to the size of the discs and calipers with respect to OEM style 224 18" wheels (I use these as my track wheels and 19" CSLs on the road) and also physically fitting the kit to the car (I think there may be issues with the dust shields when fitting all BBKs to the rear).
I'm not sure what the rules for Newbies are when it comes to sending and receiving PMs, but any advice that anyone can offer would be much appreciated. Cheers.
