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!

How did I miss this one?
I have ALL stock rebuilt calipers, M/C, prop valve, SS lines, Porterfield R-4's, and Motul. ( a fully functioning system ) I go through the front pads 2x faster than the rears. The fronts are lasting me about 8 track days ( 20 hours ). They cost about $100 per axle. My set-up is perfect for me. They do not fade and I have never felt under braked. My max speeds are between 110-120 mph. I run fresh air ducted to the fronts. No dust shields. After a 30 minute session the rotors are too hot to measure, 500+, but the calipers are under 275. They don't fade. On the street, my set-up would be considered over-kill. KT |
