1. How easy/hard/expensive is a rear disc conversion on an '89 316i?

2. What is the standard sized discs on the front of a 316i?

3. Where would i get bigger front discs... and how much?


Cheers :wink:

1. Not easy, but more than possible, basically unbolt remove, and then bolt the replacement in it's place.

2. Not sure of the size, but I believe they are the same diameter as vented discs...

3. Your best bet would eb to get hold of some calipers from a car with vented discs, get some new pads and discs, and bolt these on, instant brake upgrade.
