      Go AP. Better availability of spares!

        AP's are the tried and trusted option preferred by the assembled multitude:thumbs:
        However if your only doing a few trackdays it's a big outlay, try the OEM route with RS29 pads and some decent fluid for starters, then decide what to spend you hard earned cash on :supz:

        I'm still deciding :hahaha:

            Yes although It just makes you seem like a more hardcore driving god though so it's all good:wink:

            I actually don't find mine squeal too much but I've had them on a e36 before and it was pretty bad!

              You can always swap the RS29s in and out for track only. That is what I do with my AP set up and without any problems. I do not think the OEM calipers are much more difficult to swap pads in/out.

                  I did this for two years.

                  Swapped out frog rs29 for ds2500 after every trAckday. Worked a treat.

                  Only worth it if to do some road miles between circuits.

                    the more you try and brake to avoid the noise it just gets worse!!

                    small price to pay....brilliant stoppers:-D

                      Tarox are really good brakes but mega ££££

                      AP are a really good set up and are relatively cheap for a BBK.
                      Stoptech and others are also ok but are not as easy to get serviced and parts

                        I'd say Tarox were full on, proper wank.

                            I thought Tarox was the choice for those on a budget? I know CTR owners who went for it as it was cheaper than the rest.

                              Jon - rs29, fluids, hoses will do you. What I Run. Unless you're going to do 6+ days pa in your CSL, it's not worth it to go BBK - especially when you got the e36.
