I have the 4-pot kit all around with Brembo LCF 600+ fluid, Hawk DTC-60 pads up front and HT-10s out back- love the setup. Better brake feel, modulation, cooling and lower pedal pressure.

I am on stock wheels for winter with the 6/4 setup. In the front you need a 12.5mm spacer. The rear is fine. I have camber plates and am lowered slightly so I don't rub as bad as others might with stock wheels but there are a few times I can hear some rubbing in corners.

Anyone heard or using XYZ brakes? http://www.xyz-racing.com/

It's a racing BBK and i reckon it's pretty high quality. My friend has an HPF stage 2 M3 and that BBK can hold the car down like nothing else. we haven't tested brake fade under track conditions but these XYZ brakes seems to be used in competition racing.

I am thinking of purchasing the 355x32 6POT all around BBK brakes.

A friend has a 330mm 6 piston XYZ kit on the front of his Audi TT 2.0t but doesn't actually uses them in anger.. They look decent quality for the money though.

Cheaper than stoptech, that's for sure. 2500$ for a 6-pot 355mmx32 Floating with high quality pads.

In Europe it's about €1500 for the front 6pot 355mm kit. Not sure about North American pricing...

thanks. Looking for a BBK kit for my Z4 (non M coupe) I dont need crazy performance as the car is my daily. I will probably need to change the brakes along with the calipers soon so I am looking at my option. Car has over 105k on it.

12.5mm spacer in the front. Camber plates and lowered with KW V3 on highest setting. If you want better angles let me know. I will have to dig up my alignment specs.

If you need brake pads for your stop techs, check out the FS thread. 30% off and only used for 1 track day. The famous PFC 01's

The stoptechs are great, can't recommend them enough. At least on my car, they are perfectly balanced and bring the whole car down when threshold braking. If you really want a set PM me.

Rear yes, front might be close to fitting without a spacer. My 14" 6/4 stoptech kit fits with a 10mm spacer up front. I'm having some new tires fitted tomorrow and actually mounted the stock wheels with the spacer so I could bring my wheels in.

Your car looks spotless! Stoptechs round the looks off brilliantly.
