I have BMW 320i front breaks and was wondering if they bolt straight to the back break location. If I wanted to remove my Pvalve and use Eric's T, is there a front break that can handle the setup as mentioned. What would be a close second, with an after market adjustable Pvalve, if the rears hava to a mucha MMMMMMMACHIZMOoooo!

QUOTE Alpha is right Generally, you don't need to put more brake on your car than is necessary. I have 930 calipers and rotors on all four corners of my V-8 car and they don't fade on the road course. Although Big reds or the bigger 6 piston beauties are awesome pieces...I don't know that I would brake any better with them installed. I can lock up my front tires (245/40/18's) before my rear 285/30/18s lock...just what you want. Oh, By the way, I had BMW 320 brake calipers on the front of my old 71 2.0 liter 4 clyinder car...and was quite pleased with the braking! |

Forget about the ability to 'lock them up'. It means nothing. |
