Yeah James, I found some cheap... and it was a bolt on, no hassle option, granted its a smaller disc, but in the grand scheme of things, its not much (its only just smaller than the e46 m3 rear disc and the same size as the e46 m3 front disc).

I'll be honest, I really don't like the idea of taking a drill and making the holes bigger on a cars braking system. I'm not having a go, or being funny, that's just me.

I just wish that bmw had done some joined up thinking and made the newer calipers fit the lug mounting like they did with the fronts.

For extra info, all the calipers fit under the OEM mv4 without the need for spacers, they will also fit under the 313's as well, but the gap at the front is paper thin!!! so i have a 5m spacer.

Ideal soloution mate, well done!

Finding someone confident to do this mod in the UK held me back quite a bit, this does offer a better p&p soloution!

Cheer James, hit a few bumps on the way, but liking what i have now.

All oem and all do-able from dealer parts. (I used ebay as well with oem part numbers).

Even the fronts on there own was pretty good tbh.

Fade and poor bite are very diferent occurrences. Which one is it? If pedal is goes low and is soft you will need to re-bleed the brakes. Use ruber hammer to hit the calipers to let trapped air out. If you want more bite go with aftermarket pads. I don't recommend EBC or CoolCarbon die to dissatisfactory experience. You could try StopTech or Hawk.

Thanks for the advise. I'm OK with the pedal feel, it's just the bite that bothers me. Anybody has part numbers for Hawks and Stoptech M Performance BBK pads? does Akebono makes it too?, I heard good feedback from it.

All F3x series with Brembo calipers share the pads, even M3/4. So is easy to find pads.

Stop Tech are way over priced there and other online retailers. Order Stop Tech from Rockauto. However bite is similar. I run them now. So perhaps try diferent pads.

I run sport. Bite is similar to M Performance pads. Street will have more bite. Same with the basic BMW pads by Jurid. I had TRW and they had good initial bite but melter on track.

E92 Rear Fitment

What exactly is needed for rear fitment? I did the EOS mod for rear brakes and they came out fine, but I'm having issues with the rear rotor mounting. I was told to have proper fit to use F30 BMW performance rear rotors PN #34 20 6 797 598 but they don't fit at all.

Sorry, but is funny that you paid money for wrong info and parts and now seek correct info on the forum for free. Either go back to EOS or read this thread

have can following this thread for quite some time actually, afaik I haven't seen anyone who's done it, only a few places that do the machining. I ordered same 345x24 mm rotors as everyone else has used. The issue isn't with the rotor mounting so much as they're not clearing the e brake. I'll see what they say today since you don't care to provide input.
