I just got the matching Brembo Grand Tursimo BBK installed for my rear earlier this evening! Finally....the brakes are done!

I'll take some pics early morning before I go into work and post them up ASAP.

thanks for the compliment! much appreciated.

I feel you on the cash flow for the mods...........

oh...by the way....I ordered the Carlsson RS 5-piece kit and it should be on my car in 2 weeks. As soon as the kit is on, I'm getting a custom quad exhaust as well. pics to come as soon as those mods are on the car =)

Good job. Do you notice a difference in stopping power?

yes. definitely, yes! I had the front BBK installed already for about 3 weeks. Now that the front is properly broken in, I can definitely feel a huge difference when I step on the brakes.....you can just feel it want to grab faster.

I have to wait for a few hundred miles now before I can mash on the brakes again, for the rear to break in....but I can already notice that the car feels as if it wants to stop faster already =)

beautiful wheels to go with beautiful bbk's

does your front wheel sit flush with the wheel well? or does it protrude a bit beyond the fender wall of the wheel well?

Damn, that is sick! I need to start checking the W208 forum more often! Let me know if the rear makes a difference, i've been thinking of picking them up. The fronts feel great!
