Anyone have experience with the Paragon BBK?
Very reasonable pricing considering what looks like a quality product. I'm looking for a BBK for my LCI that I track, but don't want to pay AP or Alcon pricing. Any feedback would be appreciated.

AP makes incredible brakes that are used in all forms of motorsport. We believe they are the ultimate in BBK with all the latest technologies. Performance does come with a high price tag. Feel free to PM for an AP BBK quote. |

Paragon makes good replacement rotors for track use. Their brake kits use a caliper that looks just like the AP Racing CP5555 caliper from the 1990s which was an excellent brake caliper but AP started to phase the CP5555 and similar calipers with the release of their Radi-cal brake caliper designs (asymmetrical brake caliper designs). The Paragon caliper uses the same pad shape as the AP Racing Pro5000R CP9668 and Alcon CAR6420 (both use 25 mm thick pads) but only an 18 mm-thick version of the pad (same as the AP CP9660). Not sure what pad the Paragon rear four-piston caliper uses. There’s around a 10-12 people that run the Paragon front brake kit on their e9x M3s without any complaints. If you’re looking for a dependable track kit then I think it’s a solid option but if you’re chasing the last 0.10 sec then I’d say AP Racing or Alcon is your better option.
