OP: Thanks for doing the real hands-on research and actually posting it. Another bump up for the signal to noise ratio on this forum
Baking the fluid in the rear calipers on the stock rears with upgraded fronts could be pretty easily solved with more frequent bleeding but I would push the easy button and do all 4.

Of course, once you have that level of technology, there are other variables at play like pad types and fluids. For instance, race pads can deliver a soft pedal while they're cold; conversely, street pads deliver a soft pedal when they're hot. |

Thanks for the info JAJ. I already have StopTech Stainless lines on my car and the pedal feel is better, but I just hate that dead, grabby feel for the first 1-2 inches of pedal feel.
I'm guessing regardless of what BBK you do, it's more about the master cylinder in the m3. I've heard from others with BBKs that the pedal feel is improved, but still not Porsche hard at the top. |

The changes from oem to BBK is like going from braking with your foot to braking with your toes, the change is very drastic. Pad compound also will play a role in the pedal feel, less compressible compounds will give you a firmer pedal. The rubber bushings used in the oem floating calipers don't help with pedal feel and consistency of the brakes either. |

By the way the st60's fit fine with my stock 18's and 10mm spacers. No spacers required for the APEX track wheels |

Bumping an old thread. Any idea weather the OEM 18s will work with a Brembo 380/380 BBK? I have a square setup of rear 219 wheels (9.5" x 18" et 23) but bought a 380/380 Brembo kit and not sure it will fit. Hoping someone out there can confirm before I get rid of the wheels.
