E46 Big Brake Project

Recommended Posts

I got a hold of the floating hat bobbins today from https://braketechnz.com/ and measured them all up. They are very consistent and look to be of great quality. Made the final design tweaks (Dave from Brake Tech NZ recommended aiming for 0.2mm float on a street car) so I'm happy the bracket and hats are now ready to be made. Not quite sure when I'll be pulling the trigger on that just yet 😬

Got the vinyl cut stickers today and popped the rear ones on. They look pretty good, probably could have gone a little lower but job done all the same ... got some spares cut so I can move them next time if that ever comes around.

Where did you get the vinyl stickers? I'll need a set for when I do my calipers as well.

I used these folks on K Road: https://www.makeshop.co.nz and was $42 for the 8 I got cut. Supplied my own DXF artwork so they didn't have to mess about too much. DXF attached 👍

I got my brake lines, supplied locally via https://nz.helperformance.com/ ... if you're in need of tasty braided lines I recommend 👍

Last week also got the misc items from Spareto (front caliper pin kit, basic pads and M3 parking brake shoes).

Have yet to pull the trigger on the custom brackets and hats due to cost ... hopefully will order on pay day 😬 Then only need to arrange the remaining cross over pipe for rear caliper I stuffed up.

Hel are awesome to deal with! Got some F30 Brembo to E90 braided lines off them which they actually stock off the shelf.

Yea when I spoke to the chap and I mentioned that an off-shore vendor had the particular lines to match my caliper swap situation and he was able to look it up on some Hel database for the 'recipe' essentially and manufacture off that 👍 Pretty sweet they share their knowledge like that internally.
