Hi Guys

I am buying a set of calipers for my e28 to go with my coilover upgrade

They are from an e34 540, Ive done a lot of research and they will bolt straight onto my car.

The next port of call however are pads and discs.

I will be able to run e36 m3 pads with these calipers. The rear 540 discs + pads are in good condition and OEM. I want to know what the e36 m3 guys are using for pads? So I know my options + costs for the future.

Second question is power brake make front discs + pads for the 540 brakes @ R2600 For the discs + pads .What Im asking here is does anyone run powerbrake discs + pads and what are your thoughts?

Im thinking of running powerbrake kit at the front and then leaving the rear OEM till they are kaput

I've a full UUC braking system on my E36, don't even think about it, this system is absolutely brilliant! Consider UUC bro raise:

And prices? Bare in mind its going on an e28 528 . I dont have much power, and the guys on the american forums say just changing to the 540 calipers will pull your face off.

Im just gauging a feeler for whats out there and prices when it comes to e36 m3 pads as they will work with my new calipers.

Okay so we have a + 1 for UUC

I had ebc yellow stuff pads on my car and I was very impressed with it over the stock stuff

I use Ferodo DS2500, felt it suited the nature of the car. Using oem 3.2 floating discs in front. Back is standard e36 m3 discs.
