Totally depends on which circuits you are going to.
I have a friend who ran his E46 M3 for a very long time on CSL front brakes / Std rear brakes. He had RS29 pads, good fluid, braided hoses and brake cooling. Only shorter circuits would give him problems as not enough space between braking zones to get the discs back down in temperature. The ring for example was fine and he could do sub 8min with this set up.

I use Intrax 1K2 on the race car and they are fantastic. perfect for my limited ability on suspension set up, I think with anything more then Id be in a world of pain at a race meeting twiddling knobs unaware of what i was actually doing

KW do some pretty good stuff and are equally on par with a lot of higher end set ups. Worth serious consideration if you are looking at kits.
