    E36 m3 brake conversion advice needed

    Does anyone know exactly what items are needed to fit m3 brakes to e36 320?

    Also was there any difference between the evo brakes and 3.0l brakes

    Thanks

    I'm open to correction but i think you would need an M3 hub and M3 caliper carrier. You'd also need the brake master cylinder. The standard one would work but there would be longer pedal travel i think.
    Also the Evo has floating disks but the standard M3 didn't as far as i recall

    Actually did a bitbif research on it and it seems the rears are more difficult to fi
    The fronts definitely just need
    Calipers,hubs,brackets from what i can see

    Either i source them or try find 330ci setup
    Which i think does not require hubs
    But they impossible to find

    Any advice appreciated

    I’d go with the M3 Evo brakes.

    This company in Shrewsbury in the U.K. are breaking a few M3’s every so often. I’m sure they would do you a deal on the full set

    A set of discs and pads however will set you back. It’s on my list. I’ve a new set of rear discs and pads but need to replace the fronts soon.

    Standard M3 brakes aren't worth the hassle of retrofitting unless get the hubs and calipers for nothing.

    Plenty other options of fitting decent brakes

    But if your set on them, I have a full set of 3L bits for sale lol
