I have an R reg e36 compact with the original 318i rear brake set up. (5 stud on the E30 subframe and trailing arms.) The car is has an S50B30 engine fitted and some Brembo 4 pots from an 8 series up front. It is only used as a track day car so a rear brake upgrade is long overdue.
Suggestions please.
Thanks in advance.

i've been looking at using the 2 piston rear calliper from a Volvo v70 as an upgrade for the rear brakes on my 2.7 sport, just trying to find somewhere to make up the custom brackets i need, soon as i find that i'll be trial fitting them.

I can't find a link at the moment but they look along the same lines as a wilwood dynapro 120-9687 rear caliper.
