Front Vented Disk Brake Kit (2002)
Front Vented Disk Brake Kit (2002)
If your 2002 has stock (non-tii) front struts, and have struggled with heat-induced brake fade, then this vented rotor kit for you. This bolt-on kit utilizes Volvo 240 Turbo 4-piston Gerling calipers, 1980-1983 E21 hubs, and 1977 320 (or 323i) German-made (Zimmerman or Balo) vented front rotors.
We recommend installing a 2002tii master cylinder if you are installing a vented brake upgrade and a rear drum kit. The tii unit pushes more fluid to the larger front calipers and rear wheel cylinders. If you are installing a vented front kit and a rear disc kit, then we recommend an E12 528i master cylinder because it pushes more fluid to the larger calipers and is designed for rear disc brakes. Both master cylinder kit options include 2 new upper grommets.
You must have 14” or larger wheels to fit this kit.
