You can't use the vented discs unless you have calipers for a vented disc.

Drill holes are just pointless and cause more hassle than they solve.

Use good quality disk pads and rear shoes and the 318i has adequate stopping power! :wink:

Pagid discs and pads are good. A calliper overhaul with new seals usually improves things...
