        if u do that, u mind as well go away from the sliding caliper and go with something like the RX7 4 piston setup.

              Could you be more specific on 'm3' brakes? Do you mean e30, e36, e46, what?

                E30 M3 brakes were simple brakes off the larger 5 series sedan. What he is trying to tell you is its a lot of effort to get not that much more performance.

                As noted above performance. Heck even looks which is why most people do brake swaps on here.....
