You can choose a GT 4-piston front kit on 320mm 1-piece discs, GT 4- and 6-piston front kits on 355mm 2-piece discs, and a GT 2-piston rear kit on 294mm 1-piece discs. The E36 is a light, balanced rear-drive chassis that remains a favorite for track days, spec racing and street builds, and its factory brakes are small by modern standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrembo lists the same kits for the 318i, 325i and 328i. The 320mm 1-piece front kit is the budget option, but it requires a modification to the OEM steering knuckle. The 355mm 2-piece kits do not carry that note and give the most braking capacity. The E36 M3 is not covered on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShopping for another car?
