Wanting to upgrade brakes for track using stock parts possible M3 or 330ci parts ?

[Austin]

I know for M3 brakes on the front you have to change the hubs, spindles, calipers and other lil parts. Will the 330ci brakes fit on a e36 and with what parts? Dunno which front brake has the best stoping power and heat dispursing for track use. It would have to fit under a 17" rim.

Is it possible todo the same for the rear of the car is there a stock bmw part that would be a upgrade for the rear brakes for tracking a car ?

Whats the size of the rotors and # of pistons also.

Do a search. There's plenty of information on E46 front and rear brake conversions in the following threads:

The 330i calipers are the single-piston type.

Thanks. What part is the carrier ?

The carrier is also called the caliper bracket. It's the thing the caliper bolts into. The carrier, in turn, bolts onto the car.
