The movit kit and the Brembo kit. They are both great. I have first hand experience with both and they both have their small pros and cons.

If you want Movit - call Steve D at The Ultimate Garage. He is a great guy and is great at taking care of you!

If you want Brembo - you could call a lot of people (including me!). We are a brembo dealer.

If you think I am coping out, maybe I am. Although I can tell you why I think Brembo is better, this is not a forum on trashing other product, it is a board for info on e39. Anyway, there is nothing to trash about movit. I simply think that the brembo kit is slightly better for a few reasons. Again, they are both great kits!

If you want more info, call me or Steve D.!

Thanks
