    ~87 325is brakes on 85 318i?

    Can anyone tell me what parts I would need to do this swap? My old 325is had all the brakes I needed but the 318i I picked up leaves something to be desired in the braking department.

    Or, is there a similar setup that would be a better option? I may try my hand at autocross at some point but this cars primary use is just to go drive the mountain roads on the weekends.

    TIA, Jon

    I may swap in my 325's mildly built m20b25 at some point but for now the plan is to get the M10 running properly and maybe turbo charge it to see how I like it.

      You need to swap over the entire trailing arm and everything attached to it. Brake bias will be a little off but will work fine.

        Thanks Holland! Are the fronts the same? They sure look tiny but it's been a while since I wrecked my 325.

        BTW nice avatar, my Columbia is registered as Gekkou.
