I suggest you have a look at this:

If you are going to do track days I think you will eventually be looking at getting larger brakes on the front axle.

As an interim measure I'd suggest uprated brake lines on the front, uprated brake fluid and look at changing the brake pads to something like the pagids they used to use on the E39 Ring Taxi.

Suggest speaking to John Thorn at

He supplied and fitted my APracing kit to the front and pagid pads on the rear axle in February.

my call to thorny motorsport got someone who had no idea what he was talking about, i left a message for a callback but it never happened, i believe this is because i knew that goodridge didnt make hoses for the e39 m5 and when i pointed this out they had nothing to say. They are obviously using hoses of a different spec from a different car and dont want to admit it "whatever!!" Goodridge uk have said they will make me a set if i send them the original hoses to copy thanks anyway!!
