BMW-POWER'S 78' E21 320/6

[BMW-POWER]

some pica's,
the reason why i want to fit this rear axle is because i have plans for mounting a hydraulic handbrake

[Peter V.]

For that construction you need to seperate the handbrake and normal brakesystem then?

[BMW-POWER]

i think that everything has to do with cable handbrake has to be removed, and the hydraulic handbrake works on the same circuit with the brake caliper

except the two front wishbones, i have all the parts for a complete 323i suspension swap
this evening went for a 323i torsion axle
front strut legs are being sandblasted, brake calipers are also ready to be mounted with new gaskets and rubbers

[BMW-POWER]

time for another update, front struts are ready, only have to fit the brake jaws + the billies and the H&R springs and we can mount that stuff

[BMW-POWER]

today had some time to fit the billies and the wheel bearings
crappy job to fit the shocks in the struts


nnew bearings, fresh grease and new gasket rings

coming week mount the brake jaws and h&r springs, then finding some time to fit the parts on the shark
still looking for brake disks and pads, anyone proposes for good combinations?

[BMW-POWER]

this afternoon finally fitted the 323 bilstein front legs,
forgot to take pics from the works...
brakes are still 320/6, havent got the 323i calipers together.
made a test drive, the car drives very much better, more steady to the road, though much more nervous steering and corner behave,
lowering isnt good viewable, probably because of the little wheels
now mounted is the well known new Bilstein B6 sport shock set in combination with the -35mm H&R new spring set

[BMW-POWER]

the car got a complete polish job, this is the final result

[Peter V.]

Looks nice! If you would place some new chrome trims at your windows at the front and back it would make it even better.

Congratulations. Nice pictures!!!!

[murran]

congratulations dude!

are you allowed to just have a hydraulic handbrake in belguim? in the uk you need a mechanical hand brake to pass an mot. tho you can have a hydraulic system too if you want, but its not tested as part of the mot, aslong as the system is safe and not leaking fluid etc.

useful hydro thread with fitting/bleeding guide, pictures and common questions......
