135i Rear Brakes fit 128i?

[pushkin]

Will the 135i rear brake setup fit the 128i?

[Alow]

I don't believe so. Some dimension is different between the two. I can't remember what, but that is why the performance brake kit for the 128i does not have the rear fixed caliper that the 135i kit has. Sorry, can't remember what that is and couldn't find it.

This is true, It really sucks to have the front performance calipers and rotors and the have the wimpy stock rears in the back, but I don't think there is anything we can do at the moment

See this thread for info on the 128i with 135i brakes.

What is the size of the "hat" of the 128i rotor? and what is the size of the "hat" on the 135i rear rotor? how big is the difference?
I have been tried to find this information...

Really....

just went to Turner Motorsport and looked at the BMW Performance Brake Kit. It says in the description:

Kit includes front 6 piston calipers, rear single piston calipers, 338x26mm front rotors, 300x20mm rear rotors, BMW brake pads, sensors and hardware.

So you guys sure that we only get the front for the 128i cause Turner Motor Sports seem to say different.

Dont get confused about BMW performance kit for the 128i and the 135i brake kit.... the rear is completely different.

true.... but I was under the impression that the BMW performance kit is the same brakes as the 135i.

Front not rear,
I got 135 performance kit dealer installed and warranted however I needed to sacrifice an e-brake, it's not too big of a deal... plus swapping rear knuckles with 135 will allow 135 e-brake to go in,

Perfect! that's what I was looking for! Thanks!!!

No e-brake is sort of a no-go with a 6MT car...

Did you have your car recoded to recognize the new brakes? Your ABS and DSC algorithms likely change because of the new brake bias.

Can't wait to hear how it sounds

This might be a far stretch but does anyone actually know which part of the knuckle needs to be replaced?
Would the stock 135i hand brake bolt on?
