    Brake Rotors/Kit?????

    This is my ride and I'm currently looking to put bigger brakes in the back. My rear is from a 1998 318ti. Any suggestions of where I can get them so both front (97 M3 front) and rear look similar?????? thanks.

    You could try a brake bias valve If you feel you need more braking at the rear.

      I just want it to look the same. I have a big rotor in the front and small one the back. Trying to find what I can put in there.

          So it fit perfectly??? I thought there were differences? Just straight forward... i guess I'll be shopping for two m3 rear calipers.

            There's more to it than that. If your master cylinder can't flow enough fluid to move the larger piston, then your rear brakes will be close to useless.

            Serious question: why in the world do you want your rear brakes to visually match the fronts? I've seen some serious performance cars with a BBK in front and stock rears...

                  No, this doesn't work. You need M-Coupe trailing arms if you are gonna do this route, or fab up some adapters.
