The stock brakes (discs front and rear) are very good so do the full flush and replacement of brake fluid, inspect and refurbish as necessary everything (all calipers, pipes/fittings, MC and clutch cylinders, pads and rotors etc) and that is probably all you will need for street use.

i believe you must have 16" wheels to use these brakes. i have been told by one of the east coast BMW experts that the best way to improve the brakes on a coupe is to first replace all of the suspension bushings and tighten everything up.

you aren't going to get a big brake kit under 14" wheels. i can appreciate the desire for more braking with an s38 under the hood. my advice is to talk to Mario at VSR for his direction.
