After having several people play around with my 88 900i (J&N cold air induction kit, 50bhp Nitrous Injection kit, Big Bore exhaust, Race Cam, ported + polised head, currently rolling roaded at 181bhp with full nitros) I have found that the car is now capable of going faster than the brakes can handle, i.e. It failed to slow me sufficently from 122mph and I ended up negotiating a tight corner at 80mph. I'm aware that the Turbo 16's used vented discs (rotors), my question is does anyone know if it is possible to squeeze a big brake kit and some large calipers under the front wheels, the arches are modded to take 18" rims (wheels). Anyone know the possibility of fitting 4 or 6 pots to the front, or even then new 10 pots from Tarox. What are the standard 900i calipers, single or two pots?. Cheers Matt
