hey Carmine

Chippy had a Willwood kit on his track car I think?!

the Stoptech kits are meant to be very good and a lot of the E46 M3 owners have put them on their cars.

there was another company who supplied brembo and Ap racing for £1200 delivered, he is based in wales.

I will try and find his details.

I have had mine fitted over 4 years now they are awesome!!

The Z3M takes the standard E36M kit straight from standard, you might need to rub down the AP log as it sticks out a bit on a fast track, over 90MPH the logo did run on the inside of my wheel a bit on hard fast cornering but after a few track days it rubbed away and its fine, in fact I find the pad usage is better on road use than the normal brake set up!

hello lee 1700 euros for an ap racing kit seem really good price!
I find over ebay and other website nearly to 2500 euros,in italy 2600 euro from italian importer :(
The fact i stay on decision to install also a kw variante 3 and Sway Bar Kits and michelin ps2 this month...
Finally i want a car brake and whit a good handling,but understand i am not a milionare and want spend under 2000 Euro for only the brakes,because i need also other items to fit :P
The porsche calipers,at the least cost same a willowd brake kit,the bracket 400 euros,the caliper 500 and a pair of new disk 200 euros...
If you know this shop i really happy to contact his..
I find also this company today www.hispecmotorsport.co.uk
,an member of dtm power tell me have really good price,but sincerly i think it's better spend to 200-300 to much and stay quite :D
Thanks for the help

yes very good!

personally I will go Brembo over AP and not because of the price but I have been told by a reliable source that brembos are better.

I know someone with a CSL who has AP's and has had problems.

also if they are good enough for Ferrari, porsche, lambo etc then the are good enough for my MC!

If anyone is serious about upgrading please post as I will be ordering myself and may be able to negotiate a discount for quantity.

For me seems a bit strange!
Anyway i think to get the stoptech kit

Whit a 10% of discount price for 2400$,the kit is competitive price and great quality,in usa many riders uses it on scca competition and never have problems

I know a couple of E46 users who've had problems with AP BBKs, we've had similar binding/knock back problems on a Subaru rally car with AP brakes, but we fitted some monster (360mm front, standard size rear) APs on a CSL recently without problems.

These didn't make as much as I expected. (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brembo-Brakes-for-BMW-E46-or-E36_W0QQitemZ280001736765QQihZ018QQcategoryZ23013Q QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Well first few months on hard. fast, track cornering the AP logo did rub slightly, needed to shed a few mm, since then it has casued no problems and the pads seem to last twice as long as when it was standard!

The price of this kit seem good,but it's stay in assuie and shipping minum 200 euros :(
I see they offer the kit whit the brake disk of 351 mm,it's to much bigger for original whells,i think require minum a 18 whells :wink:
Today i oder the stoptech kit whit 332 MM drilled disk and red caliper, now need to paint red also the rear caliper,but i think it's the best color for the mine black-red interior 8)
Also a great customer service and they provide to me the 10% of discount :wink: ,cost whit tax+shipping nearly 1800Euro
Stay tuned 8) :wink:
