I have some questions about the brake upgrade FAQ
parts listed to get for a non Tii are as follows:
# New 1977(only) e21 Vented rotors
# Used 1981-83 e21 Hubs
# New or Used Girling Vented Calipers for a mid-80s Volvo 240 with VENTED brakes.
# New brake hoses
# New wheel bearings
# Wheel bearing grease
# New performance brake pads
# Two pints of new brake fluid
# Four 1" standard galvanized or stainless steel washers

What is the hub? what are the washers for? brake pads for the volvo 240 calipers, right? and what model would I get wheel bearings for? the 320i, or the 2002 that I own?
