Mike 1 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Nice, did you design it or buy it off someone else? How big are those rotors? Any change to master cylinder? I'm pretty close to getting my brake upgrade on the car. I've got all the parts, the rotors are getting machined out at the moment. I've gone for 288x25 rotors, E28 535i calipers (similar to E30M3 but thicker), and a 750i MC (25.4mm). I considered using wilwood calipers but it was going to be a bit of a squeeze to fit them behind my wheels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 the rotors are about as big as my dinner plate. and yes it has a bigger mastercylinder with a front rear biest aswell. they came with the car when i got it (lucky me) but there simple as pie to pull apart. and it never has stopping issues.

Mike 1 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 their my old brakes, glenn made em. mike, what fr rotors you using? arent e28 calipers the same as e30 m3?? Audi A3 1.8T rotors, need 1mm turning and 3 holes drilled. most E28 calipers are the same but 535i is designed for 25mm rotors, M3 and other e28 work with 22mm, i think?
