    Help me choose some brakes

    Help me upgrade my brakes... I know nothing about them the specs and what not.

    I plan on using 17" track wheels (alpina copies) and my road wheels are 16" Borbet Type A's .

    Now I need something that will fit behind these wheels.

    I want 2 use BMW Calipers...

    Was thinkin, of these:
    E39 540i, E36 M3 3.0lt, E46 330i, E39 528i

    Not sure what discs to use ? I want something that is pretty big, pretty much as big as I can go with these 2 types of wheel.

    Also, Brake Master Cylinder ? should I change it... maybe the Brake Booster ? and if so 2 what ?

    Run a 23.8mm M3 master or a 750i 25.8mm master.

    If you find E30 M3 hubs, you can run E36 M3 calipers up front with rotor spacers, but out back you'll need MZ3 trailing arms.

      I dont plan on running 5 hole suspension... as it is just far 2 expensive over hear... and I dont plan on changing my Borbets as I love them, only think I would change them for is a set of BBS RS

      What M3 is that? As it's incredibly expensive 2 try and get E30 M3 stuff in this country. Do I need 2 modify it ?
