I'm looking at 5-lugging my car in the near future, and want to pick your brains on some options. I have a full machine shop and welding center at school I can use if I have to, but I'd really rather not.
Car is a 89 325i which is mostly a track car (sig). I have the front 5 lug pretty well figured out, I just have a few questions about rear brakes.
The 318ti and Z3 rear rotors are the same size at 272mm, right? For those of you who drive aggressively and/or track on the E36 M3 front/Z3 rear, how is the brake balance? Any issues?
Is a new/different master cylinder needed or is pedal feel similar?
I looked in realoem and saw that the rear rotors and caliper carriers are the same between a Z3 M and E36 M3-- only the calipers are different. Assuming I can find a set of Z3 M rear calipers, will the rotor/carriers bolt on to my E30 trailing arms without issue or spacing problems?
Since the car is going to be a track car I'd like to keep the bias as close as I can to stock/stock M3/MZ3. How do you all like your setups for feel and bias?
Thanks all.
