    Drum to Disk Brake Swap Kit

    Like it says. I have the trailing arms to swap to disks for early 318i's.
    Also have calipers to swap to vented front rotors like 325/late 318.

    I have done the swap and a new master cylinder was not needed, and braking was not hindered.

    Vented discs with rear disks run cooler when pushed, preventing fading.
    Also pad changes are a lot easier than changing and adjusting rear shoes.

    $125 shipped OBO to lower 48.

    is it truly as simple as just swaping the trailing arms in the rear or is it more envolved?

      Yeah.... I'm eager to hear this answer too. My 320 is rear drums and I've got a 325 parts car thats rear discs. I'm wondering what all I'd have to do.

        It is a 100% bolt on swap for everything. You will need the E-brake cables from the 325 also.
