300 but if they did a bigger 22mm disk rae said say 320 would have fitted LOL!

I dotn have apic, but its basically he cut the lugs off, and welded on 1x1" steel and drilled it for the caliper bolts. The hubs are forged not cast so they weld ok.

Cant wait to try them.

What rear brakes do you have ?

thanks for the link, i had a look but i want to stop with stock rear calipers. I have found out that z4 rear disks fit the compact, and are vented. I have found also that the e46 330d has 42mm pistons in the rear calipers. We have 36mm as stock.

My car atm, seems underbraked on the rear, so im looking at comvertin to these disk and calipers now.


There is a few ways it looks like it maybe done, but i havnt the z4 disks yet to test any of them out for real...Ill keep you posted!"

samdemange- can i just check something with you, your car was a 318ti E36, you now have the fronts from the rear of the porsche, the rears are standard ti 36mm calipers, and you are using the standard 318ti master cylinder?


I have the m3 one, with the 3000cc abs

your master is diameter 1 - 23.8 and diameter 2 - 20.64

mine is just 25.4



what is it, when i put my foot on the brake, i get good bite, then the fronts lock up easily. If i turnt he abs on, the abs sorts out the fronts locking but the rear seems not to be doing much. It feels like there isa step in the brake pedal too when the abs is on.

dont supose you have any ideas?

my car is a 323 ti but the master cylinder is the same as 318 ti and rear break too

i use the oem master cylinder but i have completly removed the ABS systeme bloc

i have invert the exit of the master cylinder ( rear exit to the front line and front exit to the rear line )

and put a manual limiter for the rear because without this I had just a little too many brakes to the rear

with a bigger M C like yours, the pedal lenght is shorter and harder than with a oem
but i dont really know why you dont have enouth break to the rear
which pad did you use ?? mine are pagid rs 4.4 for the front and blue EBC for the rear

right i think i have found the problem then, the brakes where mint before i put the abs ont he car, the abs is awesome wont go back but it was never the same under normal braking.


I had a look today my abs 3000cc m3 stuff has a feed and return to the master from the abs unit, i thought these where part of the master cylinder but they feed from teh rezivour, so ive just bought a 323 master from a mate and hopefully fit it this weekend and see how it works.

I have a biest valve inline, its fully open atm and there isnt much going on at the rear.


pads are ds3000 fronts, and mintex 1155 rears.


i awas looking at vented rears too using e46 330d calipers and z4 disks, means cutting the mounts off for the caliper, but i know a few people who have done this to fit ford calipers on the back...


thanks for the advice again!!!

fitted the ti master cylinder today, and did it the front rear swap, the brakes felt ok but not right, i swapped it back and they are good. There was air in the rear system, maybe that was part of the problem, i only reolised when i got back and bled the system again.

Brakes seem good, but maybe its the tyres on the car that are the limiting factor of my brakes, they are maxsport RB3 which is a forrest tyre, but good for the roads and the rallying i do.


As i say im going to do a vented disk conversion soon, god the bits just need to make some mounts at work

thanks for your help mate!

someone try put the front and rear brake ( caliper and rotors) of m3 in TI´s?

The e36 the front rotor is 315x28 and rear 312x20.
The e46 front rotor 325x28 and rear 328x20

In the front fit the caliper in the same location? Or need a new bracket to put the caliper?
In the rear need make a bracket to adaptation, yes.
The wheels, use 16" or 17" with new rotors?
And the e-brake? Have a put all sistem of the m3´s?
