    Glad I found this thread before committing to a set of 135i brake setup. Was looking for a budget friendly setup but I intend to track this car a bit so I will stay clear of this. Wilwood setup seems to be the best setup from what I have read.

    PS: I apologize again for thread revival

    I can say from having BMW Performance BBKs on my first ZHP and now having these Wilwood BBKs on my current ZHP, the Wilwoods provide stiffer brake pedal feel and react much more than the Performance BBKs I had did. As Derek pointed out "Brake pedal feel does not really feel any better than a stock 330i caliper". Also for the money getting this setup is cheaper and changing out brake pads are far more easier than changing out brake pads on the Performance BBK caliper.

    I'm glad I went ahead and purchased the Wilwood BBK for ZHP kit from Colin.

    Yup, those are more for bling, go with a better setup for track. That being said, love the street bling.

    I may have even said that earlier in this thread, dunno.

    Even other BBKs, you don't really need one for the track, unless you're doing lap after lap after lap. Good pads and fluid on the stockers will go a long way. Of course, I can't argue with the bling, my crusty old calipers sure don't look that great

    Also lol that's hilarious how the entire caliper has to be removed to change the pads. Honestly, just being able to pop a couple clips/pins and sliding the pads out for me is one of the biggest reasons for getting a BBK. You can daily on DTC-60s but it's probably not great for the rotors, the dusting is insane, and if it rains that dust turns into some kind of demonic sludge that is damn near impossible to remove from your wheels

    Not to mention that the dust from Hawk pads is corrosive too, so they damage the clear coat of the wheels long term. I've been dailying HPS 5.0s for 2 years now and my rotors look like Vinyl records.

    Ugh! (But have to love the 'look like vinyl records' line, lol).

    Really? The Hawks 5.0 I had on my F30 335i was amazing, very little dust on street driving. And iw washed off pretty easily too. Unlike my OEM M sport pads... Those were terrible!
