Help on Brakes

[CSLJim]

Hi all Jim here, had my CSL for a little while now and it needs some good brakes on it as i had it smoking round silverstone last week. Any one have an opinion on who is a good replacment for the OE stuff?

Thanks

Jim

pads or fluid or discs or calipers or everything?


welcome by the way!

Thanks for the reply. Looking for the lot really, the fluid will need changing but im thinking about going for an upgrade kit.

Take a look on http://www.simpsonmotorsport.com/ for their AP kit mate

Other options are Brembo and Alcon IIRC

Hi Jim and welcome Most peeps on here who track their cars have AP Racing anchors. I however "daring to be different" and saving a small fortune in the process went for this option on my SG CSL (pix below) It works an absolute treat

And boy I was surprised how easy those pads are to change! Too easy its boring!

anybody got any opinions on k-sport?

Most have AP which is the usual suspect Big Break Kit for the E46.

Other options also include Stop-Tech. Main difference for jump in price is whether the caliper is a one-piece mono-block design. Also the AP kit you can retain the rear caliper disc.

Best
