The rotors are a weak point for this car. They are not based on the M5, but rather a direct copy of the E46 M3 CSL brakes (which are known to be a weak point). The Z4MC chassis is really a great chassis with a few modifications. I will strengthen mine even more with a cage but DO NOT put TCKline camber plates in your car without reinforcing the front strut towers. You will damage the strut tower. KW makes a great suspension for our cars now. You can get a clubsport suspension by calling them direct, or even a full competition suspension (I'm doing a 2 way race setup with camber mounts) if you call them directly. You won't find it on tirerack or a similar site.

Bottom line is that the OEM brakes for the Z4M are not up to the job.
