just because it's not branded with a known make does that make it not worth it

Xendo is a known make, just not a leading brand/quality one. Although I'm sure if you take them up on the fake Brembo branding it'll be much better.. :D

Chaos so you mean they are shit they are cheap if there worth buying

[Chaos]

Well, they do what they do, they're budget brakes and people seem to say that they perform as such (never driven them myself, so can't comment specifically).

Personally if I was going to push £500 on stoppers for the front end then I'd buy a PF disc/pad set - tried and tested. But the Xendos do work, just not at the level that say an AP/Brembo or VTTR BBK does.

These may be an option for you :cool:

I had these all round with PF disks and they are superb, you can use standard disks. Night and day comparison with standard brakes ;)

Unless you know people who have used the system and will give you an unbiased opinion I wouldn't go jumping in ;)

I personally wouldn't go down that route, the main problem with the M3 brakes is the standard pad compound, you are much better going down the route as said of PF discs and Pads, or get decent track pad as Pagids, put some braided hoses on and some decent fluid.

If you do need a bbk, you are far better off going down the AP / Stoptech or Brembo route imo.

I made the mistake of buying a 'cheap' bbk, which ended up being not so cheap or that impressive.

rubbish. i wouldnt bother with it mate. just get some axxis pads, with goodridge braded hoses, and if you going to track your car, get some performance brake fluid. once your discs are completely fucked, then consider getting the front bbk kit. thorney and simpsons are doing a good deal on AP Racing ones at the moment. il probably go with simpsons, so that i can get 4 wheel weighted allignment done by them at the same time.

I found the OEM brakes is more then enough for road use. Unless you thinking of track day then upgrade pads, hoses will help. But i won't bother to change fuild becos your brakes will over heat before the .4 do. But if you just want the look then may be thats the cheapest way. As others suggest if you after more braking power then should go for those big name. Good Luck!
