    been told but never driven one

    Been a bit harsh on the stock setup acutally. got the car runnign well enough for a quick slow drive and i think the pads have bedded in a bit and the pedal is quite nice. (converted from ljet to full ms2 (gm coilpack))

    havent tested any medium or aggressive braking yet tho.

      I'm going to agree with the other guys who have mentioned the 25mm MC. Sounds like that is exactly what you are after.

      As for the Corrado rotors-- Why couldn't you just go to the dealer with the part number and order a set? Plenty of their parts come from the mainland anyway. We never got floating rotors like the E36 M3 Evo had in Europe, but there is no extra shipping charge for me to order those.

        I'd probably design my own setup useing wilwood rotors. Use your rx-7 calipers and have a center hub made for the rotors. It might cost you a couple hundred bucks for the centers but the amount you'd save in the long run is well worth it. Replacement rotors for my new UUC kit are only $33 each. Much cheaper then getting corrado rotors shipped and bored out. And rx-7 sport pads are a lot cheaper then e30 pads.

          Do the 25mm master cylinders work on non ABS cars?

            Request Corrado rotors from DBA. I have sent them a few messages regarding the demand for these rotors down under. I have shipped many brake kits to Australia and it would be great for you guys to have a reliable source for replacement rotors.

              bit of a update

              solved my issues by adding a threaded stop to the e30 brake pedal, pre compressing the pedal to take out all the slack. still a bit spongey but stops freakin quick when you shit yourself. i think my mc may be worn still so going to swap it out.

              And i still dont fucken know what bugg brakes are >.<

                you put a bandaid on whatever the real problem is.

                having had several race, auto-x and street e30's...the brake system is great stock and i have never had "mushy" pedal.

                there is something wrong with your stock system. air in a line, air in the abs pump, bad MC, bad front wheel bearing, etc. get the threaded stop off there and fix the real problem.
