Herbmiester 936 Report post Posted April 12, 2018 I think the 330 e46 brakes require a new master cylinder to work optimally? Up front I used E46 328i rotors and caliper carriers, this will give you an extra 15mm rotor diameter and you can keep your original calipers. I did this with Hawk pads and it worked well. Outback e46 325/328i calipers, caliper carriers and rotors, these will work with you handbrake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other combos do not. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am running the above setup and it feels mint. Really good stopping power that doesn't cost an arm & leg. We all know how expensive breaks can get! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
