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!

Eric,

Call me in 10min (4:55pm) if you see this. I'm leaving work now to get on a plane for SJ.

My point with Matt's example: There are *some* instances where more brake will end up saving you money/time in the long run. You have to decide *why* you need something larger than stock. I know a LOT of fast people on stock brakes. Could they be faster on bigger brakes?? I doubt it. They only touch them on rare occasions.

Ask the EP and FP guys in SCCA 914's. Last time I checked.. they are still on stock caliper/rotors and most of them would drive circles around us.

You want your brakes to work consistantly? Get the heat out.
