Having been there and got the t-shirt, I can honestly say that if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing properly. The Brembo calipers on a Carrera are designed for a different car. Different weight distribution, different disks, different brake balance requirements, different rear calipers etc etc.
Years ago I put 840ci Brembo calipers on the front of an e36 M3 Evo. A friend did the same, fitting Skyline GTR Brembo calipers on the front of his 200sx.
They looked great...
But it didn't stop both cars getting through rear brake pads about twice as fast as fronts...

I think a proper BBK is the way to go.
At the end of the day it is an M3 CSL and it deserves proper brakes, designed for it.Comment

It's one good reason for doing it properly :thumbs: fronts and rears :smokin:Originally posted by breeze View PostHaving been there and got the t-shirt, I can honestly say that if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing properly.

FYI , my BREMBOs are off a Cayman S that comes in @ an Unladen EU weight of 1425 kg with Manual gear box or 1465 kg with the Tiptronic gear box, near identical to the M3 CSL @ 1460 kg, both with balanced chassis :whistle: unlike the above example of what NOT to do i.e. a 2000 kg 840 Ci V 1200 kg E36 M3 :clown: with completely different chassis characteristics :banghead:

P.S. Where was your advice when I fitted the Brembos?
Going backwards through a hedge every time I went for the anchors wasn't exactly good for the paintwork... (but the calipers looked great).
