Sorry JP....I happen to like how the StopTech Trophy series BBK look better than any Brembo BBK....it's my preference







Someday my ///M will have these.....someday.....

[cakM3]

omg the trophy series... is there a 332mm rotor with that trophy ST40 caliper?

Derek, not for E46 but for E36 ///M they do....not sure if you can fit this kit though...

I mean all I need is the ST40 caliper in trophy..as the dimensions are probably the same as the regular one.. hahaha but damn they look good..

Well, if its a purely visual preference I can understand that. Both work better than the stock brakes... but the StopTech aren't even close to the same level of tech as the GT-R's. Those brakes are probably worth more than my ZHP and all mods if I was to part it out. The mere 4 piston kit starts at $14,995... 8 piston version is what I'll install on my eventual M3 track car

4-piston kit @ close to $15k is crazy unless you're seriously racing. For street use I for one would never spend that much money on brakes when the complete StopTech kit can be had to under $9k...

Even that amount of money can be looked at as crazy. I think that's why I jumped on the CSL/ZCP brake upgrade for $500... a huge win for me right now...

I had a complete set of Stoptech Trophy when I used to own a Nissan. Ended up selling them for a steal.

Attention grabbing for sure.

Agreed, but like I said my eventual M3 won't be a street car. Honestly, it might not even have plates. This is why I'm planning out the full race package for that car when the time eventually comes

Going to be very nice when you do JP
