I'm sure you guys have seen this question a million times and I've been searching for the answer all morning. I think i have it figured out now so just to confirm:
I just bought a 97 318ti and was surprised to find that my front rotors arent vented (as im sure most, if not all, of yours are). So my question is to upgrade my front brakes to vented rotors do i have to also upgrade my calipers? I've seen mention of the 325 brake upgrade. My rotors dont have too much life left in them and i want to get this figured out in case i can find an upgrade.
Thanks a lot!
ps i'll be posting pictures of my car soon! |  |  | | 01-08-2008, 09:51 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |

most common thing to do is get newer bmw e46 3 series brakes
You'd go from a 286mm x 12mm solid rotor, to a 330=325mm x 25mm vented rotor or 325=300mm x 22mm vented or 323=286mm x 22mm vented rotors __________________

I'm actually living in Waco right now going to school (TSTC, not Baylor) Where would one come across the e46 brakes? I'd assume used from a junkyard. Is the install a simple bolt on like you were replacing them with stock calipers or is there modification or fabrication involved?
