sometimes for style, bigger is better or it's never too big

anyway, i've quit waiting for it and went for the E46 325i brakes instead plus a giant E32 740i pump

In the states there is a lot of talk about a 25mm mc upgrade..... there is some info here http://e30m3performance.com/installs/insta...1/25mc/25mc.htm

There has also been talk here about using a MB W123 mc which is bigger (see Chris cab's thread about 5 lug conversion)......... maybe someone is kind enuf to share with you the info....

 

[Strider]

Yes, please. Thanks again

strider,

i've not done it actually, since Links said, the order "hasn't arrive for 2 months".

Stock E30 brakes scares.
anyway, i've tried and i don't feel much with braided hoses and it might be slightly tighter but the brakes are pretty much the same...

better pads make some difference...

but you really should consider extensive works to the brakes

anyway, i'm now on E46 325i brakes and 740i master cylinder, was already on braided hoses and done proper brake bleeding.

brakes are better now, but i think the pads are useless.

fronts' are stock pads from Adliz/Adam who sold it to me
rears aren't changed from since i got the E36 ti rear subframe from the junkyard...but discs are NEW

gotta change the pads. probably EBC green since they say they're great and cleaner...

Goodluck

Tom

[Tom]

ok ok, i edited my post and erased "it is pretty useless"

fair, i can't say on behalf of all E30s really.
i just think it's scary sometimes... on the highways..
