Definitely worth doing.

Got a pair of E46 330 front calipers for £80, and they bolt straight on. Using MTEC grooves and drilled disks and some EBC pads. Very happy

I take it you need the carriers as well mate, some brand new calipers on ebay for £65 a pair

Running exactly the same setup and I'm happy also.

Just a small addition, red calipers all round. Looks great against the black, in my view

Yep same here, they're a faff to adjust up just right . Mine are out of sync as I can feel one side ride up when I put the handbrake on, on an incline.

That’s interesting.
When I apply the handbrake, the passenger side front drops down. I can physically see and feel it.

Needs adjusting as one is better aligned than the other.

Had a bit of a refurb carried out on the Diff, rear beam, trailing arms, sills, diff bush, beam bushes, trailing arm bushes, suspension mounts, left and right inner floor sections, front suspension arms and bushes, spare wheel carrier, disc splash guards. All parts de-corroded, treated and powder coated where appropriate, diff de-corroded, treated and painted, shed loads of cavity wax applied to slow the process down. Fuel sender unit replaced. Bella is now good for many years to come so happy as Larry :3santas:
