I'm planning on hitting the track a bunch this year, after being away for two years now--my 318iS needs a bit of work so I'm looking for suggestions.
I have pads (PF06's) and rotors with lots of life left so that is not a concern. Front brake shields have been removed too.
I want new/rebuilt brakes and I have girling calipers.
- Rebuild brakes with stainless steel pistons from bimmerworld? Worth the money?
- New brake lines - Stainless or OEM?
- Fluid recommendations? I've been using ATE blue but I'm open to suggestions.
Also, how do you determine if you should replace or upgrade/replace your master cylinder and brake booster? I recently picked up a really nice e30 325iS and the brake pedal feels so much better--the travel is much shorter and firmer but I don't think it's due to the brake fluid needing a change in the 318iS.
Thanks!
