Dude, you're talking sensibly - that won't cut it with most folks 'round here. . . :roll:Current Cars2014 M235i2009 R56 Cooper S1998 M31997 M3

I developed the setup because I was tired of burning through a set of front pads in a weekend, and I wanted the pedal to feel the same lap after lap.
I find it funny that you kids on this board can do M/S50 swaps, turbos, sticky tires, suspension, etc, but when someone wants to upgrade the brakes on an E30, the whole "good pads and fluid are all you need" bullshit comes out.Last edited by CBi; 04-29-2007, 04:48 AM.

Why not get 4 piston calipers and 280mm rotors for marginally more than rebuilding stock? I dunno guys, but with the "right shit" the brakes were still cooking on a very brake intensive track when I was turning the screws. Yes I had cooling, yes I had proper fluid, and yes I had proper pads.
Expect the RX-7 mounting brackets within the next few weeks.
