very sensative brakes.

[Todd Black 88]

I just bought a new 92 325ic and have a couple issues to deal with.

First up, the brakes are very touchy, too touchy. As soon as i touch the pedal, the damn thing almost puts me into the wheel. Ideas?

TIA

u got big brake kit?

I wish. Just stock.

Binding calipers can cause this.

Jim, is that possible due to piston not releasing as far as it should, or more an issue of calipers slide pins sticking? Or both?

[jlevie]

It is more likely to be a piston or pistons that aren't retracting than a problem with the guide bolts/bushings. But I will say that the guide bushings on ATE caliper should be changed no less often than every six years and more frequently if the car sees track time. I change the bushings on my Spec E30 every other year.
