PF makes a nice floating rotor; run them on my Pcar. I'm assuming they would have one for the M's. I second (3rd,4th) the notion of just doing fronts. Rear brakes are overrated.

So I've always been told not to use the brakes or handbrakes to much once i'm pulling off the track. Just leave it in gear and walk away. I've always done as instructed, but for the e46, are there any benefits? I thoguht our handbrake was on a seperate drum from the rotor?

I was in a similar situation 6 weeks ago and settled on the OEM rotors for the third time. I also rebuilt both front and rear calipers because I baked all four calipers boots - for the second time. Between the calipers overheating and cross-drill devouring expensive PFC-01 pads I've finally concluded after the last 4 track days to end the insanity. I was a big fan of the ZCP/CSL/Z4M setup ...
