Cheapest brake upgrade

[twack]

When I fully brake boost the car has a tendancy to over power the brakes. Im on a budget here so i was wondering what would be a good cheap upgrade. Sorry to sound like the stingy bastard but schools started up again and im not looking to spend a grand on brakes.

If you have an EPROM ECU, you can get a keydiver chip upgrade with a launch rev limiter for much cheaper than any brake upgrade. Then you can build boost off the line with zero effort. Unless, of course, you're talking about street racing roll-ons...

You can get the dual piston calipers and rotors from the 93+awd, this is a good upgrade if your on a budget.

You need the calipers and bracket, rotors and brake pads. Try doing a search on "dual piston calipers" etc... there is alot of info on this.

Swing and a miss!

Well, bmwisthekey brings up a good idea. The '93-'94 AWDs came with bigger brakes from the factory, which make a decent upgrade to the '90-'92 years. Here's a link from the ol' vfaq site regarding it: http://www.vfaq.com/FAQlocator-brakes.html
