. 135i Brembo Calipers on 330mm rotors. Due to concerns about using these on track full time, I decided on the Porsche calipers.

What concerns did you have?

What concerns did you have?

Mostly heat related and that they seem "flashy" more than functional. They use (iirc) phenolic piston caps that can become brittle, crack and disintegrate, but really only in circumstances where the titanium backing plate is not used or when incorrect pads are installed. For myself to be comfortable using them, I would have to have the calipers rebuilt with standard pistons (there's a kit from RacingBrakes) and that just costs more money. Along with that they use a 28mm rotor, which in my opinion is way too thin for adequate cooling.

So I'm opting for something that wouldn't offer such issues.

I would go with an S2.73 with the ZF. Especially with that much power.

Sub'd.. Curious to see how you'll complete this BBK and engine swap

s54 wants to rev though. i think he's safe with the 3.25.

[Asbradley21]

I think this will be enough braking power, no?

Which rotor did you have with the 135 brakes? I am getting ready to put that setup on my E36 5 lug E30.
