Performance Friction:
Used by NASCAR, CART, etc. Only BBK that isn't a BBK; the rotors are stock size (for the e46). This company knows what they are doing.
Alcon:
To be honest I though PTG used them on their cars, but a review shows they run Brembos (at least they used to).
I really don't have a good argument why PF or Alcon are any better or worse than Brembo or Stoptech. And I won't put up some BS argument to try to convince anyone that they are. My gut feeling is towards the PF and Alcon set-ups. I've heard about issues with Stoptech calipers flexing, but this is unsubstantiated. In fact when I started searching the internet, my impression of Stoptech improved.
Some good discussions can be found at the link below. Read through the thread as a lot of good information is presented. A search on Google can provide some enlightenment. As a person that doesn't and hasn't run a BBK, I should just bow out of this conversation as I'm just muddying the water with my ignorance. Sorry.
