By using the e36 m3 (315mm discs, 60mm piston caliper), Z3m rear and
stock 323ti/318ti master cylinder, the numbers are as shown in Table 5 and 6 below.
Table 5:Brake analysis of the brake systems described above. Stopping distance @100-0km/h.
Table 6:Brake analysis of the brake systems described above. Stopping distance @140-0km/h.
As is seen from the tables above the numbers with m3 up front and Z3m rear (Case 6) looks good. Probably no surprise since this is close to Z3m numbers.
