My HiSpec Big Brake Kit is here

Me and Gaz fitted it yesterday They are Mega Monster 6 pot and
Performance Friction Discs 380mm x 32mm floating

Cost £1405+ vat thats with a 10% discount for trade

I also have them making a 4 pot rear

Very nice Mark

..they certainly are big...how do they perform.

They are BIG. Looking very nice.

what size will the rears be?

**Andyk** · 30-08-2008, 01:27 PM

And those calipers look very close to the wheel...not much room left there.

**Mark CSL** · 30-08-2008, 02:58 PM

They are great i had them on my M3 e36 and they were good on road and track.

Also the discs are the best you can buy. Thats why i went for Hi Spec and not ap as the ap discs dont last and are not as big.

They are close to the wheel but they do clear and i have not got my spacers on in the pix when they go on it will have another 15mm.

The rear i am geting made are 4 pot and will use the standard bmw disc
and are more for looks but will add to the stoping power

And all the kit will be cheaper than a front set of AP'S

If any 1 wants a set i can see if you can get 10% discount

They look fantastic Mark, they really fill the wheels. Great buy.

Not sure as i only have 19" wheels for road and Track.
But i dont think 18" wheels will fit.

There web site said only 19"+
and they do a 360mm disc for 18" wheels

to fit that kit the inside of your wheel has to be 450mm, & 60mm from the face of your disks to the back of the wheel face to clear the calipers

Feck, they are huge !

Heard the same about AP discs.

Its a minor thing and obviously a personal one, but not keen on the 'Hi Spec' logo - doesn't have the QDOS of AP or Brembo etc...
