This is my current brake setup:
-Front 993TT, 322/32 discs
-Rear 993C2, 299/24 discs
-993 master cylinder (23,81mm)
-993 vacuum (9”)
-Proportioning Valve (45bar)
-Castrol SRF brake fluid
-ABS 3-channel BMW E30 M3 Cup
-Guard 40/60 Diff
-Brake cooling ducts
Switching between regular brake pads for daily and Pagid Blue for the track.
I've always thought the brakes to be a bit lacking. Fading rather quick. Bleeding the brakes several times never helped much, after a couple of laps always double tapping the brakes to get the firmness.
I might have to work a bit on my braking technique, this is very possible.

Pagid Yellow or black are for track.

This is a nice solution as its 3-channel as well.
Depends which Blue, there is race blue as well. But I'll look into that again.

I'm looking into new wheels. The current 18" Fuchs are not the best fit for the C2. I know I am running slightly wide tires in the rear but I always felt I could do better. Possibly an ET thing. I believe I'm running 21mm spacers in the rear!
I also have a set of nice 18" Cup wheels, the JARA ACP's. But those are very heavy compared to the Fuchs i'm running. I like the looks a lot, they fit much better with the car and the ET is better I think. Not sure though.
But there is one set of wheels I always have in the back of my mind...the Volk TE37's. Lightweight and strong, and a nice simple look. I just had a little bit of the feeling that these made the car look more 'tuned'. But I can't get rid of this itch...I guess I need to try these and just see.
Question is, what size would be good for me?
Can someone point me in the right direction? I know they have 18" 9 and 10.5 with the right ET's. Largest size in the rear would be 285 or 295 if possible. Front 225? or can I go higher?
Help!
