Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted November 15, 2009 So after a track day at Hampton Downs my brakes are flogged, 1 corner is down to the metal backing, the other 3 are close, but........How it is possible that all the inside pads have not worn but all the outside ones are worn out? Also whats the most cost effective set of pads round, that wont need replacing after one track day? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djs325 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2009 Look at getting a set of solid brake guides from BimmerWorld; these replace the rubber bushes with brass, and require lubrication prior to a track day; but are great for a couple of reasons: -Help pad to wear straight -Reduce caliper mounting flex -Reduce chance of stickage from caliper slides Note that these are only for ATE Calipers, that use the Pin and Rubber Bush method. These are removed with a 7mm Allen Key. These are found on the rear of all E30s with disc brakes, and on the front of most late model E30s (1988 on). The other suggestion I would make is a caliper rebuild; new stainless pistons, new seals. All these parts are available from BimmerWorld.com - a great resource for the E30 enthusiast!
