I plan to ditch my solid front brakes in favour of the Vented items on the larger engined E30s in the next few weeks.

Anyhoo, I understand that you change the discs(obviously) and the calipers, but do you have to change the caliper bracket or hub? If there's a topic explaining this swap, or a walkthough anywhere, I'd be happy of a link :)

Thanks guys.

Just the caliper and disc needs changing, that's it, simple really!
