Anyone do a BBK?

Hey guys, I haven't been able to find a DIY for a BBK?

Anyone with a reference thread to provide, that would be great!

I suspect that the reason there's no DIY for a BBK is that the instructions that come with most BBK's are more than good enough to get you through an install. Go to the website for either AP Racing or Stoptech and download the PDF directions. I don't think Brembo comes with instructions (someone correct me if I'm wrong on that) but they're all pretty much the same.

The reason it's simple is that for an E92, you literally remove four bolts per corner to remove the rotor and caliper, and screw in and torque six bolts to hold the new stuff on. The brake lines are the only tedious part of the job, and they're not hard, just a little messy. The rear brake backing plate usually requires cutting (the amount depends on which kit you're installing) which again is also easy if you have the right tools for it.
