Too bad the AP kit isn't out yet - one of those along with a brake duct kit would erase brakes from your list of things to be concerned about.
That was the 3rd weekend on those pads, they should've lasted a lot longer.
The guys at TTW aren't huge believers in BBKs but I am going to have them consider the Stoptech Trophy Rs up front. I think that with the cooling should definitely close the book on brakes, aside from the foot controlling them.

Just curious, do you have a M2 or on the way? Your info says "week 33 MY18 M2" so just wondering.
Oops, I had one on order last year and decided to go in a different direction. Totally forgot to change it.
