For brakes, I was thinking of going with enhanced OEM brakes. On the E36, they were adequate, though in the end I did have Alcon front brakes with PFC rotors and pads and did like the pedal modulation. Once I removed the Z4 OEM calipers, I realized they were very heavy. So WTF, time for brakes… After some research, I decided to go with Stoptech Trophy brakes. 355mm ST40 4 wheel kit. Brake parts are consumables. PFC makes nice brakes as well, but pads and rotors are not as easy to source. Stoptech rotors and ST40 pads are available everywhere. Even Summit Racing carries them. Plus having the same rotors and pads front and rear makes inventorying parts easier. The 355mm ST40 kit also fits inside 17” wheels. Yep, I plan to run 17” wheels. Apex ARC8 17x9.5 et 35. Fits with 275/40/17 Hankook Z214 tires. The fronts do require a 5mm spacer to clear the spokes. I’m also running a 10mm spacer in the rear for wider stance.
