Best Brake Upgrade

[KadeSdad]

Hi Guys

Just after some advice on which you feel is the best brake upgrade option or options for me.

I am planning on doing two or three tracks days this year but don't want anything that I need to change so I want them for every day road use as well.

I am on 19" twin spoke alloys, so need to know if I will have to upgrade the calipers or not (sorry if I seem a bit dumb but I have never upgraded brakes before)

Any help would be very gratefully received!

If I didn't want to fit a kit then which pads would you guys also recommend?

1. Brembo or AP Racing kit ( I prefer the Brembos)

2. Stoptech kit

The Brembos are 1 piece calipers and I think the Stoptechs are 2 piece calipers. The AP Racing brakes are used by the M3 GT cars so I assume they must by the $hit but they don't look as good as the Brembos IMO.

In addition to what SUB-ZERO mentioned, depending on your budget, you may just need to upgrade your pads, another option could be Bimmerworld's Stage 1 upgrade kit:

Only two to three track days. Spending a couple grand isn't worth it! Buy some stainless steel brake lines, some Hawk HPS or Pagid Gelb pads add some Castrol SRF or Motul brake fluid and call it a day and save a ton of money. Obviously your not a professional and the car is probably more capable than you think.

I get your point, this is probably the way I will go, thanks for your recommendations.
