BRAKE UPGRADE ON M30 3.5i E30

Post Wed Nov 23, 2005 5:24 pm

Hi just need a bit of help with the brakes now. What would you reccommend for this engine conversion? Upgrade to E34 535i brakes? or a big disk kit?

Thanks

Rich

E34 brakes won't fit with out a LOT of work.

Standard discs and pads are fine for road use, if not then look in to some sporty pads/uprated fluid/steel braided brake lines.

With some big brake kits you will have to change your alloys up to 16's or 17's so it can be very expensive !
