I don't know about you, but for me I have disintegrated the seals on every single car I owned taking them to the track because the brakes simply could not withstand the heat. I also had an m235i and those brakes not only had their seals destroyed but the color changed from blue to dark green (the m2C's silver would likely tarnish and turn dark grey or black), I'm sure the same would occur to the m2 but I haven't taken mine to the track yet. My m235i also experienced sevre brake fade which was solved when I got a BBK, so yes a larger brake kit would help. So yes these improvements would absolutely benefit someone who can push their car hard on the track.


Edit- I also meant to say that the 2NH are not bad at all, they probably have little to zero fade vs. the stock blue brakes, they will just experience damaged seals and color fading over time.
Tomorrow I go to my local track. I have blue brakes with Pagid RSL29 pads and my friend will have 2NH brakes with Pagid RSL29. Will be interesting to see the deltas. Both cars are M2Cs he has a manual with manual seats I have DCT and elec seats (prob 50kg diff).

I just ordered an AP racing setup for the front similar to essexs but locally sourced as customs are killer
