What do you guys think of these calipers?

Will they even fit?

Also just to make sure all e36 strut bars are the same right?

i think you'll need the rotors as well. because the last time i read about the M3 brakes is that they're wider so im assuming by changing the calipers you're gonna need the rotors too. itll be a nice upgrade. ask jess what else you'd need cuz he's doing a brake upgrade.

Should i just buy a generic for $30, an RD replica for $85, or fork over $100+ for bavauto one? I'm also thinking of getting an x brace aswell.

i know i've asked this before... regarding if a roof rack from any 3 series will fit on our ti's... but does it matter what year the 3 series is? because i found a rack that fits newer E46's and such, would it fit on the ti as well? or does it have to be made for the E36 only?

e36's only because of the way they mount

and dave if your buying a strut buy buy something that is quality otherwise it will serve no purpose except looks and i would go with the x-brace first

I was about 50 miles from the epicenter in my second floor office. The building swayed back and forth pretty hard then rumbled as the quake lessoned. It was a longer than usual one. I actually got motion sickness from this one (and the dozen or so aftershocks)!

Earthquakes usually feel like the ground is rolling or it feels like it is shaking.

To be honest, I would rather deal with an earthquake for a minute or two than a tornado/hurricane!!

Yea josh i think thats what im going to do. Im going to keep looking on ebay see if i can find a deal on an x brace just like Jess. I think i might end up going with an Racing Dynamics strut bar.

$300 would be a very good price for those, as for the trip, that's up to you, you could always visit Josh's family
