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!

IMHO, it is very easy to have too much brakes.
Bling factor and keeping up with the jones has people putting the biggest brakes they can get on their cars and all they do is add unsprung weight. Brake size should be determined by weight, top speed, and traction of tires. If you have more brakes than tire traction you don't need any more. Horsepower has absolutely nothing to do with it unless you are using that power to increase the speed you need to stop from. |
