5 Lug AND Big Brake Kit (BBK)

[P Arkus]

How much would this kit change the stock offset of the E30?

Edit: Nevermind, found my answer in one of your post. Looks like a great product, will highly consider it!

Thanks, have had great reviews so far!

If anyone reading is curious I can answer the question anyways. The rear stays the same by using E30M3 drive flange and wheel bearings. The front gets pushed out 12mm by the E36M3 drive flange and wheel bearing assembly. So for fitting wheels, you basically have a permanent 12mm spacer on the front compared to stock!

Had a track day yesterday and the brakes performed amazing. Stopping power was strong all day and I was able to cut a few seconds off my lap time by braking later for each turn. For track days this has been one of my favorite mods, being able to fly into corners knowing the massive braking force I had was tons of fun!

Tempting. Just because it is much easier to find 5 lug 17'' wheels for track.

Thats one of the cool parts of this kit, it combines two popular E30 upgrades! I think I am going to run TR Motorsports FF10 wheels next, what are you thinking of using??

I always liked Kosei K1 wheels. Now I am running Apex 17'' wheels 4x100. I have 2 sets and wanted to get an extra set just in case and was only able to get 2 wheels. I will be probably doing 5 lug swap with your parts over the winter and then just sell Apex wheels.

I guess I hadn't even really looked at Kosei wheels, they are pretty sweet! We just run TR Motorsport wheels with Hoosier slicks on our S52 swap at the track and they are great. You might have changed my gameplan! Thanks for the suggestion.

I wish my conversion was black instead of blue :(

But anyhow, bump for a really nice kit and top quality :up:

These require 17's or larger wheels right?

[elcoy]

Yes the way I suggest and the most common set up requires 17's. People have run 16's though. For example this post.

ok what if bearing fails and we need an individual component? are you planning to have these indefinitely or can we get some blueprints with out purchase in case we have to have a replacement part machined later down the road?
