Brake Upgrade

Post by sideshowbob »

Have now completed auto to manual conversion along with Fritz Bits tubular manifold and stainless exhaust system.

Finding with the manual gearbox my driving is a bit more 'spirited' and as a consequence the standard brakes are now feeling compared to my other more modern cars a little under whelming !

I am thinking of doing a brake conversion along the lines that are suggested on the forum, namely E34 front and rear calipers along with a E32 master cylinder.

Parts seem to be a bit scarce...does anyone on the forum have any 'bits' lying around that could help in this conversion ?

hi Bob,

i found the same after converting my car to manual & upgraded to M635 4 pot calipers up front with E34 M5 rears. This was way better than standard & then i changed the fronts for 4 pot Brembos from an E31 when some became available.

I still have the M635 calipers & discs if any interest to you.

cheers,
Dave.
