Those brakes look incredible considering it's kind of a "budget" BBK.
What are the cons to this set up? What rotors and pad set do you order when it's time for a brake job? Just curious, looking good! Cheers.

The cons are that the brake bias on an E30 is already to the front and the Mazda BBK setup has slightly more piston area (about 15% from what I've read-- I didn't measure it myself), which makes the bias even more towards the front. But this isn't a race car so I can live with that! The rotors are Corrado and you can use whatever pads for an RX7 Turbo that you want. I got the whole setup (struts/discs/calipers/adapters/pads/brakeline adapters) with 8k on them from a guy who is going to a 5 lug setup. Delivered to my door for a little over $400. I took everything apart, cleaned, painted the struts gloss black and the calipers flat black (like the Porsche 917 had :)) I couldn't be happier.1991 349is (wadded up)
