13" is only 330mm. Steep for such a small size.

I don't know if money is an issue but for $2100 you can have F&R from BMW

Front is straight bolt on. The rear requires modifications but not to much.

Are these a upgrade as oppose to the stock 335 brakes front and rears?What needs to be done for rears as in modifying.s it a matter of sanding down removing some material to fit .After that would it be a straight bolt on? Cost does matter but that price is reasonable compared to 3000. plus

The rear rotors fit. The rear caliper doesn't and I had to mill it down.
Also the hole on the knuckle where the bolts go through needs to be enlarged since the f30 caliper uses larger bolts.
Another e90post member Wlodi claims that he knows of somebody who has done it differently.
I'm the first who did it and is quite possible that people have come up with easier alternatives since.

Interesting name for a brake system...

At 330mm, it is more of a downgrade from the stock system than anything.

Look up WPpro BBK systems. They offer tested kits for a good price. Toronto Canada m3's often have these because of a local distributor and they are highly viewed. Probably a better kit than the recent wave of asian tuners like Ksport, D2, XYZ, ...

More details on how to mill it down? Did you shave it down yourself or knows any good vendor that can do this for the rear?

I shaved it myself to about 12mm. You can find more details in the F30 Brembo on E90 tread

Stoptech costs more and you don't get more.
You get a full setup for $2100.

I'm sorry to tell you but that is not the case. StopTech are more money true but also is a better kit. Additionally, the F30 are not 100% bolt on. Now, given what the n54 can do (realistically with amateur driver) I personally doubt that the StopTech will have the opportunity to embarrass the F30 kit. Therefore not really justifiable from cost stand point. But the bottom line is that the StopTech are better if you are only compassing the brakes alone.
