I'm saving up for a 320d estate for her indoors ATM. Stereotypes are just fun. She drives a kia ATM but we call her carpark Colin, she drives at the speed limit safely on the road but as soon as she's in a carpark I think the redline is used more than brake!

Exactly that Richard. The stock brakes are than capable of locking up the fronts at 60mph mine sets the and off quite regularly when I'm playing. For a road car, the stock brakes well set up and maintained exceed the tyres ability to stop you any faster. There's simply not enough grip to make you slow down faster. Where big brakes come into effect is when the car goes beyond normal road conditions, 150mph braking repeatedly or simply repeated heavy braking full stop to that end. The heat cannot be processed off and as many find out a few laps often sees you with no brakes. For me the plan is for my car to become something a little beyond a mobile disco or show queen. It's a car that is and will be driven in anger and put some fun under its belt, a roads, strip and circuit. It will never be a race car but it will need the minerals put up with the stress.

A lot of the yanky guys use the stock 255/16" rims for drag racing.

About 400 for used 350 brembo calipers. Direct bolt on fit but defiantly more expensive, about 7-800 all in....

Yeah 4-9 10 are different. You can choose between 320 and 345mm discs, depending on the bracket choice. The 345 disc allows a better ability strength wise on the bracket. Are you planning on tracking your zed mate? The stock brakes when working are pretty good they just over heat under repeated heavy braking.
