Z4 e85 Best calliper upgrade?

[ImFeelingSaucy]

Hi - just got an e85 z4 3.0 and want to upgrade the front callipers for track.

What would people recommend?
Ideally I’d like to find a cost effective solution that doesn’t involve spending £3k on an AP set up.

Cheers

Have you tried them yet with more aggressive track orientated discs/pads and fluid yet with braided lines?

Yep did all that and still had fade and flames.
It’s a race car so the brakes do get a pounding.
I want to upgrade to a four pot on the front but don’t know what option to choose.
Budget is c.£1k (excluding the discs)

There was a Vagbremtechnic solution using Brembo calipers and custom carriers (I think you can just get the carriers too, and supply your own pre-owned Porsche Boxster S Brembo calipers)...but I don't know how much it was.

There may be more info on Z-Forum.com...as people there have done various braking upgrades over the years.
