    You sure are cocky for a car only making 280whp. I can think of 10 cars on the forum that would give you a reality check really quick.

    Neat car, but it's not anywhere near the fastest thing around.

    Is it the fastest car around? Nope. If you want to be technical about it nothing in this state is the fastest thing BUT for the power to weight ratio of this car makes it quick plus it handles well...

    Any car that is more than capable of beating up on 500hp+ Corvettes is fast compared to the majority of cars on both the street and this forum...not to mention that's on low boost

    It has the IE big brake kit.

    This kit is intended for cars with 16" wheels. Available for the 318/325 and the M3 please specify. It uses a PBR aluminum 2 piston floating caliper. The large pads are the same as used by the Mustang Cobra. Rotors are 2 piece with aluminum center (hat) measuring 310mm x 20mm with gas slots. Kit includes calipers, rotors, pads, brackets, hardware, and stainless steel braided hoses. These brakes are very effective and reduce unsprung weight. I prefer floating calipers for the E30 cars because they require less room between the wheel spokes and the rotor so are not as likely to require spacers. Also pads size is larger than similar kits with 4 piston calipers. Kit is also available with 28mm wide rotor at $95 additional cost. We also offer a rear kit for the E30's to go with our front kits. The front kit will set you back about $1200.

    Let me know if you want one, just give us a call!

The large pads are the same as used by the Mustang Cobra. Rotors are 2 piece with aluminum center (hat) measuring 310mm x 20mm with gas slots. Kit includes calipers, rotors, pads, brackets, hardware, and stainless steel braided hoses. These brakes are very effective and reduce unsprung weight. I prefer floating calipers for the E30 cars because they require less room between the wheel spokes and the rotor so are not as likely to require spacers. Also pads size is larger than similar kits with 4 piston calipers. Kit is also available with 28mm wide rotor at $95 additional cost. We also offer a rear kit for the E30's to go with our front kits. The front kit will set you back about $1200.

    Let me know if you want one, just give us a call!

    So, you order it from IE first?
