Well, I think what we're saying is that there are some good options under 1500 euros which offer big improvements in performance and looks.

I might be thick but what do you mean with “the SC way?”FD3S wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2017 8:26 pmMy thoughts are the same. Brake line upgrade new discs and better pads. The only possibility I was thinking the 6 piston is that maybe within the next year I decide to go the SC way. Anyway decisions, decisions. However the aesthetics is indeed something important.Attilio wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2017 9:58 amVery good question you raised about the usage of the car: I am not planning to track the car, so perhaps it would make sense to just upgrade the brake lines (with braided ones) and fit EBC or similar pads when the time to replace the discs comes?FD3S wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2017 11:05 pm It is time also for me to change discs and the pads. I was thinking to upgrade to a bigger 6 and 4 pot system but those systems from Brembo, AP Racing and Stoptech cost a leg and an arm.
It is good that I see that there a many other solutions.
My question is if you believe that for a car that never sees racetrack, if it makes sense any upgrade to the brake system? What results should someone expecting when having such an upgrade? Is it something measurable?

Now I get it! Thank you!
Changing from Pagids to EBC Bluestuff NDX removed both the squealing and brake dust issues plus they are so much cheaper. The first set of rear pads weren't completely flat but the factory sorted this with no quibble. Only downsides are less initial bite (I consider that an advantage over the hair trigger Pagids) and they stick to the discs after washing the car (clang!).Beedub wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2017 1:10 am AP BBK here 6pot front 4 pot rear, pedal is rock solid, right at the top, insane breaking performance and are without doubt one of the best braking setups ive ever experienced massively over-braked for the little z4 , issues with them is they squeal like a pig and are absolutely s**t when they are cold, they also cover and i mean cover the car in dust, and the parts are so expensive you'll need to sit down to digest the £££s.
MrPt my mistake. I thought that the prices you guys were talking was only for the front pistons. I found some time to do some googling for the M Performance parts and I found this: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-bmw ... 110444769/
