Hey all, Been reading/searching etc, but I can't seem to find clear direction...
89 325is sitting on BBS RX's (16").
The car is going to be used for AutoX and some track days, but mostly it's my Sunday cruiser.
It's time for a brake refresh. I'm going to be bleeding the system with Super Blue (unless there's something better that's recommended) and replacing all the stock rubber lines with stainless.
I've been researching the options for a rotor upgrade. From what I can gather, people seem to love the Rx-7 calipers/rotors, but they are not likely to fit under my wheels - can anyone tell me otherwise? From there I was looking into the advantages of cross-drilled/slotted and have read that they don't offer much advantage over stock. I'm really looking for solid advice on this. If I'm on the track, I want as little fade as possible and it would seem that these should perform much better than stock.
Long term plan for the car is to turbo or S5x, so I'd be willing to take on some added expense at this point to do it right for that day. So take that into consideration (if the Willwoods fit my wheels, I'd entertain buying them now).
So, I'm wondering if there's any real world advantage to buying the slotted/cross-drilled, or if I should just refresh the whole system with stock and be done with it.
