Wet Breaking System



Watching either TLC or the Discovery Channel early, early, early Sunday =
morning they were demonstrating a wet braking system on some Toyota =
Pathfinders.  The break pad and disks were encased and use oil as a =
lubricant.  The break pads had slots through them to allow the oil to be =
squished out when the breaks were applied.

The article went on to explain that the breaks were superior as they =
would not fail under wet conditions.  As an example two SUVs (one with =
the new breaks and one with out) went through a small river up a steep =
hill (25-30 degree) and tried to break on the way down.  Without the new =
breaks the first SUV failed.  With the new breaks the SUV stopped many =
times with no failure.  The other advantage is that the breaks last =
about 10 time longer as the disk/pad wear is dramatically reduced.

Question:

Does anyone know where I could purchase this system for a 1988 735i ?

Thanks!
