Servos don't make any difference, that's not how servos work.

I'm running a single vanos M50 with Mazda RX7 4 Pot calipers and Modified Corrado G60 Discs, goodrich hoses and a Golf servo ( couldn't bring myself to use a french servo on my reliable German car LOL). This set-up works really well, the only downside being I have to run 10mm wheelspacers each side to clear to clear my 17in Alpenis replicas. I am told that you can get this set-up in 15in bbs but you then need 20mm spacers each side which would look ridiculous.

Gone 5-stud setup to use E36 M3 brakes with floor-mounted pedal box, dual master cylinders, doing away with the original servo and master cylinder. Can't comment on how she drives though yet! I think e21_Jason has the same setup though? He might be able to tell you how it drives.

Awesome upgrade.

I have read a bit about this upgrade and it sounds great bang for your buck.[/quote]

the rado disks are 5 stud though? mmm. whats the options on the fiat coupe brembos?

[jmc330i]

The vr6 rado discs are 5 stud, but the G60 ones are 4 stud - that's the ones you need.

The Wilwood or KMS kits use the same discs. I guess the 20mm spacers are needed with the rx7 calipers, but I'm fairly sure the other kits only need spacers to bring the wheel back out to the factory spec and I think its only a few mm, not 20mm.

I think the rado discs are too thin for the Fiat brembos.

Yup, we use 2.0mm spacers with the G60 disc, it's just to put the wheel back where BMW intended it to be and is like running no spacers in terms of offset (so zero change to handling and no need for longer bolts etc).
