03-04 M45 - Has anyone upgraded the braking system on their M???

[jrb1449]

With all of the warped rotors going on. I figured someone would have put together a Big Brake kit.

I was thinking maybe the OEM Brembos from the g35.

Just woundering if anyone had tried this??

I just look at my small front rotors and caliper and wonder how the designers missed such an obvious thing. Braking is a major part of any car.

a BBK is one of the things I am looking into for the front of my Y34...

I havent looked to bolt up a different kit from another car... nor have I checked into the spec's of the master cylinder / booster to compare piston sizes for the calipers etc... rather would make sure everything will be functioning properly rather then put something on that is big with piston sizes too small / large for the application...

Im not sure how the rotor offset on the M will compare to other vehicles... same with caliper... custom brackets may be required...

The M45 Rotors are the same as used on the F50 Q45...

The M45 Calipers are the same as used on the F50 Q45...

(pads as well...)

The M45 Brake Booster is the same as used on the F50 Q45...

And you guessed it... the Master Cylinder is the same as used on an F50 Q...

So,, if there is a kit made for the Q45, then it will work on an M45 and have proper piston sizes etc for it...

Unfortunatly, these parts arent the same as on the G50 Q...

So, we need to find something that will work on the F50 Q45 / Y34 M45 specifically...

There are some company's that take generic Willwood Calipers for example and make brackets for them... not really the Ideal thing to do as far as getting all of the valving correct to the vehicle, weither or not it is a step up or down, that is arguable...
