I can't find ventilated front brake discs for a 3.0CSI for a reasonable amount in the UK, W&N Euro 150 each, BMW £120 each, Brembo £340 for a pair. Someone stated that a disc from a newer car could be fitted, probably an E12, but needed to be machined down in diameter.
Can anyone say which model car I should buy discs for eg E12 525 year 1978?? I have found a place to machine them down for me for approx £10 each, but I need to know what is best to start with.
Another route is to try to fit larger diameter discs and calipers, has anyone done that for a reasonable cost, and was it much better? If so what did they use? I am not up for a £1,000 kit to fit race brakes.
Thanks
