I would suggest fitting uprated discs and pads.

I used EBC Brake discs anf Red Stuff pads on my 535i worked fine around the nurburgring.

P.S. could you please resize your avitar as it is too big. :thumb:

your best of contacting a person on here that does just that kit!

his name is "keri-wms" and provides everything from the 4 pot caliper to the remachined vw g60 discs that snuggly fit behind the bbs! he can also provide the pads and brake lines you need for not such a bad price you know

send him a pm; some zoners have them installed on their cars; id like to get it too!

also if not that then you can try the WILWOOD kit thats avaialble, but be aware; the max disc size a bbs can take is 285mm, no more!

oh ok; tbh i dont know what the dust seals do, but cool; wilwood would then would be the next option.

otherwise then theres all sorts of brackets ans stuff that people make up to use other calipers; do a search on the forum; will result in loads!

Just spotted this - the WMS calipers don't have dust seals (as they burn off under race conditions, and most Wilwoods don't either!) but we offer free replacement seals if there are problems within 12 months.....and not only have we never had to hand out free ones, we've never sold any either!

All the calipers we've sold are still fine, even the ones on rally cars (although it's simples bad practive to leave any caliper covered in crud). 8)
WMS E30 brake kits! (4-pot 280mm & 300mm front / 2-pot 290mm rear)
