I am looking to find out the particiculars involved with switching to BMW brakes. I was told that the front calipers from a 3 series (year??) would go right on? Any idea what exactly I need to do this change up?

Our M3 does...
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) But seriously, bigger calipers on the same size rotors is going the wrong way. The rest of the guys will add more detail. I went 911T struts with M calipers up front on the teener |

I guess the main reason I am looking at the upgrade is because I am sick of the problems I have with the stocks. I have been all the way through the front calipers done a complete rebuild and still have serious issues that make it unsafe to drive. The damn brakes need to be pumped up if it sits for more than 3 hours, and then the passenger side binds causing the rotor to super heat. The car has a new master cylinder, and everything. I have turned too much hair grey on these damn brakes... I'm no rocket surgeon or brain scientist, but the front brakes on these things are kinda hard to screw up, maybe I need to break it down to parade rest again before I go extreme...
