Reason being is because i have a baby along with me hence would want to make the car as safe as possible with my constant defensive driving Considering either just the front calipers or front and rear. Wanna know the advantages between the 2. Haha I was once on your shoes too. In summary, no, changing to BBK does not improve your stopping distance. BBK are more useful for tracking whereby it can better withstand the high heat caused by intensive braking (overheated brake drastically reduces its effectiveness). Some videos to help you understand better. Edited December 16, 2023 by Rickster 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna know the advantages between the 2. Haha One thing I realised about brakes, is about balance. I get worried when I see people install 6 pots with bigger rotors in front while leaving the rear stock. During e-brake, the superior braking in front may cause the rear to lift up resulting in loss of traction. So I try to buy cars that comes stock with BBKs, and change to better rotors and pads (OEM spec size) when it’s due for replacement. So if you’re driving bimmer, get a set of M Performance brakes (front and back) that’s made for your car model, if available. And guys being guys, if we want (not need) something just go buy lah. To me BBK is for show only if it’s just driving normally on streets. That’s my only reason for using BBKs.. I hiao 🤣 No need to justify with reasons like safety for baby lah. Safety comes with defensive driving not bigger brakes. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannnn 4th Gear December 16, 2023 Share December 16, 2023 BKK indeed in SG is just for show/hiao. i think for a decent bimmer, even if u just change front 6pot or even 8pot, u ebrake from 100kph, the rear will not lift up one la. good suspension and tyres helps alot 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes in retrospect I also wonder why bother on an underpowered SUV 😆 On stock suspension and Geolandar tyres. I actually tried doing an ebrake in Seletar from 60kmh (last time no kar there one) and the rear felt lifted. I could be wrong la. Shortly after I sold off the BBK.

Conan86 1st Gear December 20, 2023 Share December 20, 2023 Seeking recommendations for audio upgrade, the stock sound system is seriously quite shitty and i can't tolerate anymore.. anyone got good value ones to recommend? TIA! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc888 3rd Gear December 22, 2023 Share December 22, 2023 (edited) @Rickster yes, good and sticky tyres will improve braking instead. i always change new set of branded tyres 3mm above indicator as well. Don’t ever drive till hit tread indicator as raining days may aquaplane too. Edited December 22, 2023 by ccc888 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
