Uprated discs for 318is

[MikeeMiracle]

Hi

I know this must be a common question but what would people recomend for upgrading discs on a 318is? I have done a search and found several threads regarding big brake upgrades but none if you just want to change the discs.

Also im told that the 318is has 325 brakes so do I search for replacement 325 brakes?

It's time for a brake replacement and I really want something that can take a bit more abuse than the standard setup.

Thanks

There's plenty available, check out Green Stuff, etc.

I always go for ATE Power discs (grooved); don't know how much better they are than standard, but they're cheaper!

Yes, they're the same as 325i brakes.

ATE power discs front, pagid fast roads pads all round. job done

if you want a batter pad than them though, try mintex 1144, this is what i will be using in the near future

From when I looked into this a while ago for my iS it looked like ATE discs and pads were the way forward, nice and easy replacement, not sure what wheels you're running as this will restrict what you can get...

on my to-do list when I can afford it!

Thanks I will do some searching for a UK supplier and more importantly some pricing.

Nothing gets on my tits more than a web site which does not show you pricing like this one

Euro Car Parts - ATE discs and pads for £64 inc VAT

thats cheap as chips!! might have to get some of those!!

[MikeeMiracle]

It is cheap, £18 per disc but I think I will go for a more high performance pad.

[Dan318-is]

yes pads make the difference. ferrodo ds2500 if your nuts an have 100 quid burning a whole in your pocket!

if not im told pagid will do the job

iv been in my mates e30 with mintex 1144 before he wrote it off an that stopped well (not well enough for him)

[MikeeMiracle]

Will probably go with the Ferodo's as the Mintex 1144 are £80 anyway.

[Dan318-is]

Good point, I was looking at the 1155's.
