Hi
My car is a 320i which means it has the 45mm front struts, and drums in the rear. Im converting it to a 24v with turbo, and to stay within norwegian laws i need to have brakes that handle the max output of the turbo 400hp engine = 400hp brakes
My goal is to be able to upgrade to ~400 hp in the future, but im fine settling for 321 hp (e36 m3 brakes) atm. So my question is what are the cheapest and smartest way to make this work. I have been allowed to use aftermarket brakes as long as they are from a well known brand. Which means if the rotors and calippers are as big or similar to the e90 m3 for example, i can make the engine 460hp.
The ways i have gathered:
1. e36 m3 front, e30 m3 rear end. complete kit with everything needed for the conversion. also everything is new. 4000$ (only an option if they accept the smaller rear brakes)
2. 50mm e30 struts, 325 rear suspension. 4 lug big brake kit. Probably also around 4000$ because i need the struts and rear suspesion first
any other cheaper way to upgrade brakes to the spec i need? Should i be conserned about geometry changes with the e36 hubs or does it work fine?
