Did anybody change the brake setup from 2NH calipers to use 18" wheels on a M2C for track use? If so, which brakes did you use and would you recommend it. Thank you in advance for any feedback,

We now have many M2 owners around the globe running our AP Racing by Essex Competition Brake Kits.
Our systems fit inside many popular 18" wheels, and they shave over 40 lbs. of unsprung weight vs. the OEM M2 Competition Brakes!
You can see details on our blog in this post:

Feedback, Reviews, pics, details:
If you search "essex" here on the forum (in the F87 M2, e90 M3, F80 M3 sections in particular) you'll find tons of feedback on our kits.
Our kit isn't the cheapest option, but it is by far the most durable, highest performing, and valuable brake upgrade on the market if you want to fit inside lightweight 18" track wheels. Most of our clients run our kit for a few years until they move onto their next car, and sell them on the used market for 65-70% of their brand new retail price. They pay for themselves in consumable (pad, disc, and fluid) savings alone. As such, they are a terrific investment that you get to enjoy for years without losing much money.
FYI...we also offer Forgeline and APEX wheels, and we're happy to give you a quote on a complete and compatible wheel and brake package if you're interested.
Below are some M2 and M3 owner reviews of our AP Racing Radi-CAL Brake kit from our blog. Their feedback tells the story better than anything we could possibly write here:
