baby jesus cries every time someone misspells brake as "break"

on a more serious note, are you doing bbk front and back or just front? either way, assuming you got someone to make custom brackets, do you think they'd be willing to sell to others, or mass produce?

Hey sorry dubb I type with my phone half the time so my phone takes my typos and dropped in what it thinks I meant, my bad

As far as a BBK I'm custom making my own set front and rear, I will be able to use the z4 M rotors or aftermarket two peice rotors front to back when I'm done I also had to contact Goodrich to have a custom brake lines made. I'll keep y'all posted, this will be this winters project but all in all a very cost effective way of getting the brakes to work for under a grand. Just got back into the country from vacation so I have to get with ESS on the ECU modification and hopefully the SI tune will work properly when I fire it up..... Fingers crossed. Again this will be a true tuned SI map for the I not a tuned I map so from what I'm told a 15hp gain over SI numbers is possible but I'm holding off till I see the numbers. I'm really excited to see what happens. I was told the SI ecu was destroyed but the map was able to be pulled of the chip so I'm down to 1 ecu again .

By the way would you guys recommend HR coil overs or springs ? Don't want to car to get as harsh as my mini and would like the feeling to be as close to stock as possible as this is the daily driver now that I sold the smart car.

Later guys.
