    which brake upgrade?

    basically since I've plans for a lot of power I need better braking,
    anyone have any suggestions , one stipulation is that it must fit behind 17' alloys,
    any help is much appreciated and the crazier the swap the better

    which brake upgrade?

    Your choice is endless if your budget is endless. But unless your tracking your car a imho a bbk is a complete waste of money if you want extra performance on a day to day basis but they will look

    Good disks (no cheapy drilled/grooved sh!te), good pads, braided lines and good fluid will make the world of difference.

    Just my two cents!

    the standard 330 e46 brakes are class, for piece of mind use good quality brake fluid/discs and pads. and they just squeeze behind style 5's. i think the disc's are 330mm aswell
