better brakes for nonmsport?

NoCrease DeQuis · 03-18-2019, 02:15 PM

Super quick question
i have a nonmsport f30 and that brakes have to be changed; I want to upgrade my brakes from the boring standard ones.

Any suggestions on good brakes that won't break the bank?

msport brakes are apparently a different size... Any thoughts on crossover or will that require a new brake system (not just the pads, but disks, fluid, etc?)

The grey brembo calipers, supposedly bolt right up, you will need the bigger rotors and associated pads of course

Grey brembos seem to be the best value upgrade for 320/328/330 guys.

In the middle of this project now. Will install this spring/summer. Keep an eye on the classifieds. There's a set available right now!
