brake upgrade

[Garrett8]

will calipers rotors pads etc from the newer w-bodies (gtp, monte ect) fit on a 93 z34 if i did get the calipers rotors and such?

You're limited to the later 1st Generation brakes. The 2nd Gen's wont bolt up at all. Here are some articles you should check out, courtesy of the main W-Body.com page:

The only "upgrades" are putting the 94+ in the rear on (but you can't use the ebrake cable) and swapping over 96+ front strut assemblies to accomadate the bigger 11.25" rotors.

 

Other than that you could put on goodridge brake hoses and slotted/drilled rotors.

yes, you can use the ebrake cable, btw. i would just do the rear swap and get the goodridge lines with ebc slotted rotors and green stuff pads. thats what im going to do when my brakes go out again (except for the swap, of course)

How did you get the ebrake cable to work?

well, i did two of them for redz a while ago. iirc, on the right side side, i bent the bracket a little and took out the back two bolts that hold the cable to the frame and on the left side, i used a spacer and it worked

just fine.
