Right then Ian & Adrian
I have looked into getting a BBK numerous times over the years.
Good Points:
They look awesome
They are perfect for track use
They will stop the car from silly speeds & give the occupants whiplash
Bad points
They are super expensive to buy
They are super expensive to replace pads & discs
The initial bite when cold & @ low speed isn`t great
I have tried numerous setups with the stock brembos,
Both types of DBA`s - with ferodo 2500`s & yellowstuffs (better than stock but still experienced runout with the discs & fading when using 2500`s
PF discs & pads, not as bad as the DBA`s but still not great
Genuine EBC turbo grooved with yellowstuffs (on par with the DBA`s but no fade even on track)
Rip off EBC`s aka Kinetix discs with yellowstuffs ( Straighter discs than all of the above, a little noisy & have a high wear rate but no fade on track & take all I throw at them sub 120mph.
So unless I decide to turn the car into a track toy I`m going to stick to this setup, I can put new discs & pads on the front, fill the car up from empty & go for a pint with enough change for a packet of peanuts (or condoms if I think I might be getting lucky ) for what it would cost to replace a set of Ferodo DS2500 pads on a K-sport setup
