EBC BLUE Stuff + EBC 2 Piece Floating rotors. Your Braking worries Solved?

Hello everyone,
I hope all of you well during these continually strange times that are among us. I have been getting a lot of track time with my M2 and it definitely noticed that the M brakes, although decent, definitely need improvements for regular track use.

Parts added:
EBC 2 piece floating front rotors
EBC Blue Stuff Pads
RBF 660 Brake fluid flush
Stainless brake lines

My most recent event of which the components mentioned above were tested to the limit was a full track day at Thompson Motor Speedway. This day consisted of seven hot lap sessions at 20 minutes each. I was incredibly impressed at my M2's newfound breaking ability. I would get on track do one warm-up lap and then be right into the full potential of the brakes for the entire 20-minute session. What was most surprising was at the end of the straight I was doing over 140 and had to haul the car back down to 55 to enter the first corner. Doing this repeatedly it didn't seem to phase the brakes as they just got better and better as they got hotter. After this experience, I'm happy to report that for intense track driving a big brake kid is not really necessary. new pads and rotors + a fluid flush and stainless lines bring the OEM calipers up to their potential. Overall I'm super happy with the results of these brakes. At a quarter of the cost of other big break kits on the market this rotor and pad combo made a world of difference. I can't wait until the next track event to push the limits even further!

Do you have a recommended supplier of these products by any chance? You should include that in the 1st post if you do, along with prices.

Also, were you able to determine the cause of your brake issue with the stock system? It sounded serious.

Hey everyone,
I got these from EBC directly, so I do apologize I do not have vendor recommendations. In regards to weight I neglected to weigh them but the difference was significant

They're two piece, but should they start floating something has gone badly wrong...

Although, the pistons in the stock calliper should self centre onto the disk.
