    e23 Big Brake Kit CEIKA¿?¿

    I received this email today regarding my inquiry for brake options for the e23/745i.

    Hi John,


    We have made kits for the e23 it is available and fully plug n play yes https://ceika-store.com/products/cbk185

    However we do not have the application for the rear yes but if you can fill up our measurement sheet for the rear we can make a plug n play kit for it.

    I am a big bmw fan myself, i drive/maintain an e38 750il, a few e21, and a e34 drift car too I really love the e23 and that 745i turbo must be a blast to drive! I agree with you on the importance of the rear upgrade too on the 7 series it made a massive difference at reducing weight shift and front tyre grip. All this gives a much shorter stopping distance compared to just a front upgrade.

    Sincerely,
    Cedric Milharo

    Drilled rotors are prone to cracking and don't do anything for performance.

    Their website allows you to chose only slotted rather than drilled - as I see it.

    We've spoken via text about this, but for anyone else interested, the E32 740/750 rear brakes work great, especially when paired with the trailing arms with bearings.

    The stock front calipers with better pads, and E32 vented rear rotors/calipers with better pads, and good fluid (motul, not Ate super blue) will handle all the speed you can throw at it.
