    318 Rear Disc Conversion

    Hey all sorry for noob question
    Going to do a rear disc conversion for my 85 318i, will 86 325 trailing arms work with my axles?
    I assume I need for swap
    Trailing arms
    Calipers
    brake lines
    rotors
    Ebrake cables
    Would be nice:
    brake master
    front calipers
    Is all this stuff going to bolt up or am I going to run into all kinds of stuff being different ( axles not working, etc )
    Thx all

              ebrake cables are not the same but you can just leave out the ebrakes on the rear disc set up as they are just inside the hat
