I'm assuming that you're referring to what we in the US commonly refer to as the "Big Brake" upgrade using the vented rotors from a '77 320i. Depending on which type of struts you have, you will need early or late 320i front hubs. Use the '77 to '79 320i front hubs (larger wheel bearings) if you have tii struts. Use the '80 - '83 320i front hubs for non-tii struts (smaller wheel bearings).

I don't have any experience with using the solid 320i rotors. I'm assuming that it will also fit.

Yes, have the non-tii struts I believe, the other prob was the lug bolts. my alloys only leave minimal thred into the rotor (is vented!) is there any other car I can steal longet lugs from?? and is it neccicary to use a larger master cylinder??

cheers!! :)
