E36 vented rotors are just fine. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 07-18-2010, 10:42 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | Definately get rid of the drum setup, if you have solid rotors up front, get a set of vented rotors with the correct caliper bracket (carrier). Suspension can be from any 6 cyl equipped e36, ti, or z3. You can go aftermarket with a coilover setup and run a custom spring and sway setup. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 07-29-2010, 02:51 AM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Saybrook, CT Posts: 23 | Very happy with Bavarian Autosport suspension with h and r sway bars. 95ti with s50 __________________ 1995 330Ti s50b30- ebay ss headers- custom exhaust- UUC engine mounts- Turner front subframe reinforcements- 95 M3 steering rack- M3 front brakes, floating rotors, porterfield r4-s pads-Borbet rims with Bridgestone reo50a 225/45/17- x-brace- M Coupe 3.15 diff- Euro 3 spoke non-airbag steering wheel- Corbeau Fx-1 front seats- Schroth 5 point harnesses- Bavarian Autosport suspension- H&R front sway bar- M coupe rear sway bar- Turner rear sway bar tab reinforcement- Powerflex Black Subframe and Trailing arm bushings | | | 07-29-2010, 04:51 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Sydney, Australia Posts: 593 | Front M3 brakes, with rear brakes from a 2.8L Z3.
