hi,if u want to put M3 front calipers,u must change the King pin,because they are different with the non M ( caliper fixation is 8 mm larger) and put a spacer for ur rims or install 17 rims
for the rear if u put M3 breaks,u couldnt use ur handbrake,and must do a adapter,its better to put Z3M or Z4 break with 125i rotor,

125i disk diameter for the hand brake are plug and play the M version is bigger
but Z3 M Trailing arm with there break is a good solution too if u can found them at a reasonable price

humm...ok, I understand now

This rear disc of 125i is the same of 118, 120,128i...and others #34216855005
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/part...&q=34216855005

But here in Brazil it is very difficult to find a z3m trailing arm to buy, has few z3m here and the parts is hard to find.

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?

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

are you using the stock ABS? for that matter is the ABS the same between M and non-M models?

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.

i think its just an habit to drive without ABS
i have learned to drive without assistance
just breaking hard at the beginning an do a decreasing pressure on the pedal

i mean that my brakes with out the abs, the fronts lock up really easily, like at 50% of what they can do, so its dangerous with out the abs, i just wondered if your setup was any different to mine.

with my set up its the opposite of you
i have too many brakes on the rear
( oem master cylinder,300X22 tarrox disc,996.352.421 and 996.352.422 for front calipers with Pagid RS14,oem disc and pad and a limiter for the rear )

maybe your ABS bloc cause that distribution issue ( even if its electrically deactivated )

made this for my brake line


put a limiter after
