Well my mechanic says something about the front calipers aren't releasing the brakes all the way. What could this mean? I've been reading about the BMW 320i caliper replacement. If I were to buy the BMW calipers, could I have a local brake shop put them on (we know nothing about this stuff)? Or is it too complicated?

Zack,
its a highly debated topic around here. but most of the bmw brake conversions Do Not use vented rotors... so they don't increase the thermal mass and can overload the stock rotor. My opinion is that a good stock caliper (rebuilt) with good pads and fluid will be very adequate and maybe just as good as a bmw caliper. (plus cheaper and easier) b |
