And my trailing arm ( 323ti) I can use with disk ( 125i) and use the same hand brake shoes? Is the same diameter? If positive, I can only change the disk and make adapter to put other caliper and the hand brake dont need nothing Is this? | | | 07-02-2015, 08:18 AM | #65 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2013 Location: Bresse Track France Posts: 535 | yes you right ( sorry for my poor english ) 323ti disc 118i,125i 128i disc just have to made adapters for the M3 rear calipers Last edited by samdemange; 07-02-2015 at 08:20 AM. | | | 07-02-2015, 10:53 AM | #66 | Junior Member Join Date: May 2015 Location: Brazil Posts: 13 | Quote: Originally Posted by samdemange yes you right ( sorry for my poor english ) 323ti disc 118i,125i 128i disc just have to made adapters for the M3 rear calipers | Ok thanks...you are the best!! My english is not good too | | | 08-19-2016, 07:36 PM | #67 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2014 Location: widnes Posts: 100 | So my car is got, 300mm front disks, 996 calipers, rear vented disks and 330d calipers, ds3000 front pads, and ebc yellow stuff rears. If i get the brakes hot now, and brake with out my abs on the fronts lock really easily, what mastercylinder should i be using? My setup fits under 15" wheels too | | | 08-22-2016, 06:21 AM | #68 | Member Join Date: Jul 2015 Location: Santa Rosa, CA Posts: 62 | are you using the stock ABS? for that matter is the ABS the same between M and non-M models? | | | 08-22-2016, 06:58 PM | #69 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2014 Location: widnes Posts: 100 | I think the m and some non m cars are the same, its the remote type 3 channel, not the block type that is fitted to the compact we get here. But the abs should not affect the biast when its switched off. I have had the m3 master cylinder on the car, and changed to the ti one recently, still not that good. | | | 08-22-2016, 09:05 PM | #70 | Member Join Date: Jul 2015 Location: Santa Rosa, CA Posts: 62 | Alot of the e36 rally guys in the US go to manual brakes with dual masters | | | 08-22-2016, 10:45 PM | #71 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2014 Location: widnes Posts: 100 | yes i had that system on my Lada, but i want to keep the abs and servo, the abs is with special map, its awesome. Ive retro fitted this system to my car as ive seen how good it is!
