What fits? I heard some kits rub..

Depends on how big brakes? I can't run 15", I think some 16" will work but I use 17" :)E30 325ix M50 turbo 7 spd DCT 4wd 840awhp @ 31 psi.
E30 M50 6 spd 764whp @ 24psi.
E30 M20 6 spd 675whp.Comment

Wheel/rim size would be 16"Comment

Just curious, but do you guys think the iX is an under-braked car?

Yes, i have seen that video...in street those better rotors, bads, those braided brake hoses and little better fluid are enough, but still i are interested big brake kits...Comment

No, but the stock brakes need better cooling.
Also stock brakes are heavy - a good bbk is a way to decrease unsprung weight.Comment

Ok, so those bigger version is in some way better...Comment

The calipers are usually significantly lighter, despite the heavier rotors. And if you get rotors with floating hats, there's additional weight savings too.Comment

So nobody is running a BBK on stock wheels??Comment

Well I guess I'm not going this route... lol. Time for fresh calipers, drilled rotors and Hawk pads I guess. That'll have to do it. I'm not into aftermarket wheels on this car.Comment

I'm pretty sure Massive sells kits that clear 15" wheels. You can get a template from him, which you print outto check fitment on your wheels.Comment

The only "thing"that maybe could work is the smaller kit. 280x22mm Corrado rotors and Wilwood Dynapro calipers.
Check that fitment template - http://massivebrakes.com/profiles/Pr...ont_280x22.pdf
Print and test against your wheelBrake harder. Go faster. No shit.

Right... OEM's cut all sorts of corners with brakes. Not in terms of safety, but in terms of manufacturability. Pillar vane rotors are cheap to manufacture, but hardly move any air. Straight vane rotors are more expensive, move more air and can work on both sides of a car. The curved vane rotors are the most expensive and move the most air, but they only fit one side of the car.
A thick 11.5" curved vane w piece rotor with an aluminum hat actually won't weigh much more than the stock rotor, because despite being thick, the thickness comes from AIR SPACE so it can move air and cool itself.
Swap an iron caliper out for an aluminum caliper and you've helped fade free braking over multiple stops AND dropped unsprung weight.Comment
