Hi, I am new to the site and need a bit of help,

Right basically i own a e36 316. i want to change to discs instead of drums, how would be the best way to go about it? can i buy a conversion kit or do i need to change the whole back axle..... HELP!!!!

Welcome to the forum please do not be offended by the following comment

WHY?

There is next to no performance benefit in doing this(most of the braking effort goes to the front wheels). You would have to swap the rear hubs which could be brought from a scrappy for not a lot of money, although I am not sure if there is a bias value on the e36 and if so if it is different from disk and drums.

Personally I wouldn’t bother its a lot of work for very very little gain.

basically i would not be doing for any performance gain but i am sure you can agree with that drums are UGLY.....

Drums are perfectly acceptable however this is your car and this site is here to help people with there cars, so

Well if you wish to do it, down the scrap yard and take of the bottom two arms from a 318, but a new set of brake hoses and enjoy a few hours of swearing, it is straight forward in that respect.

Do your wheels show the drums then?
