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!

Wow, go on travel for a couple days and look what I missed!
One thing I think needs to be framed here... A small increase in speed can result in a much greater load on brakes, no it's not linear. Brakes turn the kinteic energy of the car into thermal energy by friction generated at the pad/disk interface. Kinetic energy, Ke=1/2 mv^2. That's the -square- of the velocity. Double your speed and you -quadruple- the energy you need to dissapate in the brakes. So a car with stock brakes that can go all day on the track topping out at 120 mph, may very well exceed their capabilities at 140 mph. That makes a roughly 15 % increase in top speed yielding over a 27 % increase in energy. A little bit goes a long way... That having been said, I've only had problem with my brakes at the track was when they weren't in top shape (old fluid, wrong pads, insufficient cooling). But I run a stock 2.0L, not a hopped up 3.6 monster. -Josh2 |
