I opted for a 355m Stoptech kit on my Audi..and it stops real good..retail was $2595 for that "front only" kit. To be honest..I wouldnt take any "stock" 328/335 or any Audi on the track without doing some type of upgrade.
I agree, there would most likely be no issue with a 4 wheel kit, its the 2 wheel kit where you can have issues.

Same thing in effect. Rears fade, fronts don't. Still messes things up. And as far as I'm concerned more braking power isn't needed anyway, my 328 with small brakes can get ABS to come on whenever I try.

AutoX you run the car for what, a minute or two tops? It is stressful but not terrible. A road track you are beating the crap out for the car for multiple laps at a time, much harder on the car, especially temp wise with the 335i if the panic threads are to be believed.
