If your running a 316/318 coupe then your best bet is to do a 325 caliper/vented discs upgrade.

This is what im in the process of doing at the mo. the 325 calipers bolt striaght on, you just need vented discs.

But im going the whole hog, Groved ATE power discs, Pagid fast road pads and Motul RBF600 fluid.

Also got brand new rear Paged brack shoes, so hopefully my car will stop pretty quickly :twisted:
