BREMEBO BRAKES

[SeiW500]

Hi,

I'm just about to fit the E38 Brembo Brake upgrade to my car and was wondering what pads to fit, the car will be mainly fast road. It seems a bit of a waste to just use the existing pads (and they might be contaminated from the breakers yard! Was thinking about DS2500 but they are not cheap and am a bit worried they might promote a brake balance problem with the rears (my car is a 430 1993 so i'm guessing it's not got the larger rear brakes as fitted to some of the later 500's?).
Was also thinking of upgrading the rear pads to keep the balance or even going for the later 500 set-up, but know F'all about this and the possible costs/implications????

Any help appreciated.

Thanks Andy

Thanks Simon

I'm sure your gemmed up but you might need some 0.5 mm shims to better centre calipers to the discs.

Enjoy

Hi ClassiChimi,

Can you elaborate on the Shim, are these to locate the caliper more centrally on the disc, i.e. to fit between the caliper mount and the bracket? or some place else??? Also where are these obtainable from, just the usual washer/nut wholesalers??

Thanks

I have been running this setup for over 3 years, but as I have 16" Estorils, I have to use spacers to clear the calipers.

Question - I am just about to buy some bell and rotor discs from Reyland, as the company turns their own bells, I have asked if they can add 10mm to the bell part of the assembly so that I can eliminate the spacers, anyone got any reason why it could be a bad idea?

Will this not men that the wheels will not locate on the hub centre? If so then avoid!!!
