Big brake kit - install
Hy guys,
I bought myself a big brake kit from D2. It's a 330x32 8-pots kit. And I'm about to install it, but I am wondering if there are some "special" things I should check or do before/during installation? Thanks up front! |

Post install, you MUST bleed the brake system. There will be air in it and the car will not stop.
So make sure you have lots of brake fluid for top up. Other things you'll want to check for are the brake pad wear sensors. As an option, you can cut them and splice them so they never go off. I did that for my Z4 and zip tied them out of the way. I'm competent enough to check the pads everytime I swap tires. Nice looking piece of kit you got there.

I did my Wilwood BBK on my prior 330 and it wasn't too hard. Some filing of the metal bracket that took forever otherwise fairly easy and straight forward. Bleeding the fluid properly and beeding in the brakes are the most important.
