Are the BP-20 pads available for the BME E36 calipers on our cars?

I believe they only make them for their own calipers (Wilwood).

I installed Hawk HPS on my standard ERA 2 piston fronts which improved the performance over the original pads. Would still like more but will not go away from my 15" wheels so I think my options are limited. Trying to decide between Baer and Wilwood. I believe 11" is my maximum rotor. ??
Recommendations certainly appreciated.
BTW, my track days are behind me but I try to do lots of "spirited" canyon carving.

EBC red stuff are great clean and work from cold pads...
As for function, my superformance brake system was transformed by the addition of a vacuum accumulator in line with the vacuum line from the intake. You may want to take a look at this line and make sure it’s well sealed and isn’t crimped anywhere. Also if you’re running a low idle and hence have low vacuum you’re brakes will be real stiff...if you’re coasting to a stop in neutral do they work better if you use one foot to hold revs up a bit?
Am Accumulator will solve your issues if so...

My wife thinks I bleed every time I'm doing something in the garage - whether I'm working on brakes or not.

If you need a vacuum pump to improve brake assist we have very good success with this unit, effective and quiet: https://leedbrakes.com/p-33752-leed-...pump-kits.html

My Front Brake Combo on my NAF 289:
Trigo 15"
Vented Rotor 12,19" x 0,81"
Wilwood Forged Superlite caliper - 1,75" Pistons
EBC Redstuff
Tilton MC 7/8"
Pedal Ratio aprox. 6" - 6,5"
Werry hapy. Good feeeling and the Redstuff pads works great.
Most time driving on nice mountain roads with nearly zero trafic.

Bob, no that is my garage. Like to keep my surroundings uncluttered and clean. Behind the white door is a small room where all my tools are kept... |

After the brake bleed, my brakes are still squishy and soft. This is the master cylinder and brake booster in my Backdraft (2018 model). Anyone have an accurate suggestion which model it is? I would like to replace with new.

I replaced mine last fall with ATE PN 03-7750-5702. It fits a Porsche 944.

The actuating rod will be too long. You'll have to thread it further down the shaft a couple of inches, and then cut off the end. Not difficult, but you'll need the right sized die.
