Just run Performance Friction-08 pads and be done with it. My last HPDE at Virginia International Raceway my instructor had me wait until the 200 marker before slamming on the brakes (at 120mph) for turn 13. Turn 13 is a left hand, decreasing radius, off-camber, downhill turn. These pads with stock calipers (fresh RBF600 fluid, natch) never faded. Never! We’d do lap after lap push the car as hard as I could (105mph through the uphill switchbacks!) and the brakes were flawless.

I came across this thread on the M2 forum, discusses Porsche 'wings' and several home-made vent systems that looked interesting. https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1366784
For now I'm just cooling mine with the tears I shed at having the first HPDE cancelled. |

https://www.essexparts.com/news-blog...n-my-track-car. Thanks to Maynard for drawing my attention to this piece; it should be of interest and value to regular/serious 2 Series track drivers.

I'm a past customer (my old race car is still the example they use for their E36 race kit), and I tried for a couple of years to get them interested but, finally, my email entreaties stopped being responded to. I made it clear that I was more than willing to drive my car down there for them to do the measurements, fitting, and testing. I've assumed and am pretty sure that our market is simply too small (tiny?) for them to want to engage with it. Solution: buy an M2!
