Brake questions
I have a '97 M3 and I'm about to change the brake pads. I have a few
questions before I get started.
Is it a good idea to turn the stock rotors or should I get new ones? If it
is recommended to get new rotors, I think I will go with the Euro floating
rotors up front, however, what should I do with the rear rotors? Should I
stick with stock rear rotors?
I also plan on flushing out the brake fluid with ATE super blue racing fluid.
How much fluid will I need to do this procedure? What is the best
procedure? Will I need a brake bleeder kit? Where is the best source for
this?
Since I will working on the brakes, how will I know if I need to rebuild the
calipers? Is there an obvious sign I need to look for? Also, is it a good
idea to switch over to stainless steel brake lines? Which ones are reputable
and where can I get some?
I am also thinking about painting my calipers. Where is a good source for
Folia-Tec paint? How much of this paint will I need to paint all calipers?
Is there anything else I should look into changing? Are there any little
parts (consumables) that I will need or should change? Thanks for your help.
