    HEL is at or above factory standards. That said, the factory part from FTE has no issues and comes with insulation/padding.

      Genuine BMW brake lines will be okay for track use with track pads?

        Better with quality stainless steel lines.

        Referring to your ZCP caliper issue - are you planning on running drilled rotors on track?

          Having issues with stop tech rear SS lines. They don't fit in the RTA clip nicely looks like I have to zip tie it. Which I don't like. Debating buying all 4 genuine BMW brake lines for a whopping $300.

          I have run genuine BMW ZCP drilled rotors for every track day I've ever done and never had issues with cracking. They have warped on me before but that is FCP euros problem. I almost feel bad for them because when I first bought the rotors they were $759 a set and now almost $2k. They're gonna take a nice loss when I warranty these out next. Honestly everything I've bought from them years ago is almost double the price…

          Truth is my car is 90% a street car that sees occasional track work. So I think stock lines may suffice just fine.
