Any locals with a BBK?

[cbouchez]

I need to replace my brakes… The steering starts shaking when brakes are applied. I always find an excuse to upgrade, I’m a sucker for BBK’s I think they look awesome and they work magnificent! Safe as well being able to stop in a dime.

Any local vendors that offer BBK’s or experience from locals with BBK’s?

Thanks guys!

Have em, love em. Although, given the cost. You can do almost as well with SS brake lines and some high quality pads. Granted you don't get the same look.

I was going to get the Wilwood BBK kit from Ireland Engineering, but for 3k I passed.

I ended up getting their $300 crossdrilled disk/pad set and couldn't be happier.

I have the willwood setup front and back on my E36, So far have never come even close to needing them, and they do not make you stop any faster. You also might have to get bigger wheels just to clear the calipers.

This has a fitting template you can download:

Thanks for the info I might get the Massive kit from Lee $700.00 or close to it.... It all depends on the timing.

OLDDRUNKENSAILOR: What brand of rotors and pads do you have?

Thanks!
It looks pretty sweet, what kind of pads do you have? I know either one will be low dust.

[OldDrunkenSailor]

Hmmmmm, I'd like to think that the option wasn't there when I ordered. My receipt doesn't specify.

I guess it just comes down to how much you like metal?

[cbouchez]

Ok.

Thanks for the info.

Steering shakes how are the cab's might be time for some new ones.

Better just rebuild all of the suspension :) leave it at my shop for a couple days, I will take care of it for you ;)

[cbouchez]

CAB's replaced, shocks, springs, tie rods, etc replaced about 2 months ago.

^^ I bet you will.

I have Balo rotors up front, Brembo in back. Balo is much nicer IMO... same price as the Brembo too

Akebono euro up front, OEM out back pads. Car stops good. Akebonos dont dust that much. Blunttech SS lines as well

[cbouchez]

Thanks for the info. I think I'll be doing the Blunttech SS lines while I'm at it.

They are very high quality goodridge lines. THe two under the rear subframe though are super hard to get to, when Mlarsen and I did my brakes we just installed the four at each wheel
