Default B10 Biturbo brake recommendations

I need to do the discs. What are most owner's doing - keeping stock or some other arrangement/upgrade?

For the fronts, you can use brake discs from a E38 750iL which are 334x32 and have them machined to 332x30.

The pads are the same as a Mercedes Benz S600, 1993-1999.

See this link of a post a few years back when I rebuilt the front calipers and did some suspension work.

The rear brakes are the same as the M5.

Thanks Quattro, I think we'll go with your E38/W140 solution.

I didn't read your other thread Quattro, but that's some serious cross referencing parts. Well done!!!
