2002 Rear Disc Brake Kit

from $895.00

To improve rear braking on a 2002 we recommend either our rear disc conversion kit or our E21 320i 250mm drum kit. The advantage of the rear disc kit is that the brakes will not require periodic adjustments. Otherwise, either kit will work quite well when paired with our vented front brake kit.

We recommend installing an E12 master cylinder if you are installing a vented brake upgrade and rear disc kit. The E12 unit pushes more fluid to the larger front calipers and rear calipers and does not have a residual valve like the tii master cylinder. The ATE master cylinder kit includes 2 new upper grommets.

*This pricing is based on a core exchange policy. Select no core charge if you are sending your E21 axle flanges in advance. If you are going to send you axle flanges later, select the core charge option as it is refundable.

**Note: This kit fits cars with 14” or large wheels.

When utilized with a standard “big brake” conversion in the front (with semi-metallic pads or similar), the rear disc semi-metallic or metallic brake pads should provide near optimum brake bias (all four wheels lock at the same time). In the event that you rear lock up prior to front lock up, it may be necessary to either change to a higher friction front pad or to install a brake bias adjuster (usually $40 - $50) to reduce the effective rear braking. This assumes, of course, that braking components are in good working order. If you have questions, please contact us.
