what should I get to compliment the AA C-38?

[loknaster]

im going to buy it soon...but im wondering what else i should get to make it run better/safer for the car?

so far I've got on the side a UUC organic clutch and a UUC short shifter...should I look into getting 3.46 diff? Anything else for cooling (although if it runs fine in miami i shoud be fine in cali...although earlier in the summer it got to 110 degrees [little humidity though]).

Thanks for the info.

Get stage two it comes with a intercooler as far as I know.

[Ervin87]

Yeap, stage II.

[russ330]

Another vote for an intercooler.

I'm wondering the same thing. I was planning on doing some suspension upgrades - UUC springs/sways, TMS rear shock mounts, meyle front controls arms TMS adj rear control arms.

Do I need to upgrade 330 brakes for street and ocassional track use (3-4 times per year)?

[sheefo2k]

no your brakes are fine. I d get some ss brake lines and your set. Maybe better pads etc but nothing to majors for the brakes.

Most people on this forum with bbk....thier cars dont see the track haha s dont even bother.

[bigjae1976]

I really love the pimp look but I'm not sure how much I "need" then with a boosted car.

[sheefo2k]

the pimp look i m sure is nice but not worth the money if you dont have a lot of it to spare. you know what i m saying.

if money is kinda tigh or your modding right and on a budget then **** bbk. atleast go with willwood which i think they are amazing for the price but unless you track you dont need bbk.

Just upgrade pads if you're doing a track day and get a good compound track pad. Get a good street pad (search around, there are plenty) as you don't want the squeaky-needing to be heated-track pads on for everyday driving. The only real advantages of a BBK for most drivers are:
-Looks
-Ease of brake pad change
-slightly better brake pedal feel (mono block vs. floating caliper)
-better fade resistance (to a point pads can negate this)

The floating caliper can be improved with a caliper bushing upgrade (see bavauto part number CBUK ) and stainless steel brake lines.

Of course, this is only for a 330, if you have a 325 your brakes while good, are not near to the level of a 330 in fade resistance and it may be worthwhile to jump to something bigger (wilwood or even just 330 brakes).

[sheefo2k]

i went from a 325 brakes to brembos with a bigger roter i cant remember what size and race pads from hawk i think so. i cant remember with SS brake lines and i love the feel and how responsive they got.. plus a lot cheaper then bbk haha

[bigjae1976]

I was looking at the UUC/Wilwood kit...but I have to decide if the pimp factor is REALLY worth $3200 for the 4 wheel kit.

[ice330ci05]

^^^ u'll save some weight with them too :D

[Boosted_ZHP]

I put slotted and drilled rotors on my car along with Hawk HP+ pads and the car broke out of this world. I had planned on gett SS lines and race fluid, that would of helped a lot. BBK is not worth it for most street applications.

[malina]

BBK is not worth it for most street applications.

Agreed.
