Who has this? Is it a big improvement?

Are there any other Brake kits for our E30's?

I've got it, not used it in anger though.

It does need a bigger M/C as the pedal, whilst having a decent bit of firmness at the bottom, is a bit wooley otherwise :(

You also need to make up some plumbing fittings which make it more of a pain still!

Nice. I'd expect that this would be sufficeint for a stock sport and probably even an S50 powered one with nice pads / fluid / hoses etc.

Decent suspension would be a must as I don't think E30s come with anti- dive / squat geometry like later threes 8)

Wilwood is only 400 but without pads. Why is Tarox so much more??
