    Going 17x9 on my E30 5lug conversion... Need bigger brakes.

    Need some help on what big brake system to go with on my E30 s52 swap. Turbo goes in next week. Putting Apex arc 8's on it and need help finding the right braking power to hone the engine power soon to be made. Brembo? Stop Tech? Any help fellas?

        I already have the e30 M3 brakes front and rear on my ride. But I'm going to be making 500+ to the wheels in a few weeks and was thinking brembos? stop tech? Just wondering if anyone had hook ups or thought of anything better??

          If youre not putting this car on the track, you dont need bigger brakes. The m3 brakes are fine.

              I'm running a willwood setup just like Lee's stuff he sells and it hauls the car down nicely.

              With E30 M3 setup, you need a wheel with a really really deep pad to clear the calipers. My willwood SL6's stand 45mm higher than the brake hub's face.

                Yeah im gonna be running the Apex ARC 8's. 17x9.5 out back. Potentially I plan to occasionally track her yes. So since Im running the stock E30 M3 brakes right now you think I can just upgrade them and I should be good??http://www.r3vlimited.com/gallery/fi...42930160_n.jpg

                    I have stock E36 M3 brakes with my 5 lug, and I was S52 supercharged for a while.

                    Had no problems bringing the car to a stop, or whipping it around Julian in southern cali.

                    If you have the big bucks go for the big bang, if you want.

                          Did you miss the key words "17x9, S52, and turbo?"

                          Massive makes a good kit that would fit your needs.
