Freaky parts / Buildjournal Brembo BBK vs 996 DIY BBK for HPDE/track?

[Nate047]

I bought a set a couple weeks ago, it was $942.00 including the front and rear brake lines they offer, and shipping which they do for a flat fee of $80. I had to pay about $45 duty to UPS upon arrival too which I wasn’t really expecting, but I suppose that’s normal. They take check so have that ready.

Anyone ordered recently? How much is this delivered out the door to us of a.

I can’t believe red is the only color they offer.

Because the calipers only come red from the brembo Factory.

Does anyone have a reccomendation for having the calipers painted in yellow.. no not powder coat. But as near OE durable finish as possible?

Hi,

By chance is anyone running this kit with the 360mm rotors (E92 M3 rotors)?

Since this would essentially push the caliper further toward the edge / barrel of the rim (since the rotor is bigger), one could gain more clearance maybe without a spacer.

Is anyone running this kit with OEM 18s?

Hi,

Does anyone run the Apex Arc-8 (18 x9.5 ET35) with these Megans calipers?

Did you need to use a spacer for the calipers to clear the front wheels ?

I have. I added a 5mm spacer to clear the wheels, based on comments from m3cutters for the same setup. I estimate that I have around 3mm of clearance at the closest point.

Thanks for chiming in, what's your recommendation for a rear setup to pair with 345mm fronts to keep close to stock bias, or slightly more rear bias over stock?

996 Rear.

Does anyone know any sources for the 996 rears?

[Nate047]

Also, the pedal won’t be softer than stock as the total piston area is slightly smaller meaning the pedal will feel a little firmer.

Can confirm. Pedal feel is great after the install.

Just caught up with some of the posts on here. It’s worth noting the RenaultSport 275 Cup calipers we use in our kits are designed for the 28mm thick discs fitted to the Megane. There is enough room in the caliper for 30mm thick discs which is why they work well with the E9x M3 discs. But don’t be confused thinking they’re “designed” for a 30mm thick disc so won’t work with the 28mm CSL disc.
