Those with BBK's please advise

Those with bbk's please share your experiences.

A BBK disc is pretty difficult to warp if you chose to go that route. However I would oversee your current setup to see if something else is amiss.

Thanks

Hey Excelerate,
Do you have the part numbers for the 2pc and 1pc BBK kits for a 99-03 TL... I may need to purchase rotors from you soon and wanted to know which one I will need. Thanks

PM me with your vehicle info, BBK info, and zip code and what you need and I'll get you a quote.

Hey Excelerate, can you PM me a quote for new Rotora BBK pads? I got a BBK on my 2002 TL-S. Also, any word on the 2 pc rotors fitting the 1pc BBK yet? Thanks

Adventurist.
How much are the replacement rotors for an 03 CL-S BBK? How long are they good for? Deciding if I should replace my rotors while doing the pads. I have 30k on my 1st-time rotors and pads.

Meaning the kit is set up properly for your vehicle. If you buy a no name kit it can offset the brake balance. That isn't the case with ROTORA and STOPTECH; both those companies sell balanced brake kits.
So yes the BBK will work just fine on your car. The 1 pc 13" 4 piston kit is a great bang for the buck; if you have the funds upgrade to the 2 pc setup.

Since you carry both the wilwood and the rotora BBKs for CLs, I'm just curious to see how you think they compare? Seems intriguing that the wilwood bbk comes with a 2-piece rotor for the same price as rotora's 1-piece. Does that mean quality-wise, rotora makes a better product? (I know that the rotora has had an application for our cars for a lot longer)

The Wilwood kit is really not a Wilwood kit; it just uses Wilwood calipers. IMO the ROTORA kit is a better kit b/c it uses higher quality components and it is actually designed for the vehicle. The Wilwood kit really is based off another vehicle. It's a great kit for the price but I like the ROTORA product better and it has much better wheel clearance.
