    drum to disk brake conversion?

    i have a 1985 bmw 318i and want to swap to disk brakes on the back... im pretty sure all I really have to get is newer e30 trailing arms correct?

    You'll need complete trailing arms and parking brake cables from a disc brake E30.

      hey matt, are the parking brake cables too short coming from the drum brake setup?

          Hey guys, just swapped a recently aquired 318 to the 6cyl suspensions/brakes... Did you guys swap your master cylinder to one from a car with disc brakes all around?

          Have you made a purchase from www.blunttech.com recently?
