Car currenrtly has a 2.7 engine and runs 914-6 brakes in back and SC up front.
How do I get a better brake feel? How do I add more stopping power, and is that necessary as I potentially upgrade the engine? Has plenty of rubber. |

The Volvo pad is almost twice the size of the M caliper. I was a little shocked to see how small the M caliper pads actually are. What is the big deal with the M calipers? And I hear the S caliper is smaller yet with smaller pads. In fact, the 320i pads are even bigger than the M ,
