      Do front ABS sensors mount anywhere in this kit?

        What hubs are you using in the rear? I was thinking about doing a similar setup, but running Z4 hubs to do the job so I could retain the bigger half shafts.

          I believe the z4 hubs can be used, but needs to space the rotor by 2.5mm. E30 M3 hubs works and does not need to use spacers.

            CONFIRMED! Z4 Hubs installed WITH e39 530i rear calipers. (not 540i)
            This is the Z4 hubs installed using the bracket provided in the kit with NO spacers installed. Although i might consider putting some small ones in there for better centering. In the last picture is a 3 position code listed on the top/front of the caliper that indicates the caliper dimensions. The 530i calipers have the same last two dimensions which is rotor size and thickness. As I've been told by a german friend, the first number indicates the brake cylinder diameter which would make this 2mm larger than the 540 calipers.

                    Something's wrong here...the E39 530 and 540 brakes are the same...and that caliper and part number aren't from a 530. Maybe E34?

                    Rears on E39 are 34211163649 and 34211163650. The low-spec 520is have 34211163393 and 34211163394.

                        I'd commit to a group buy if one comes up.

                              Hey elcoy, you should consider selling a kit with the rear brake brackets having 2mm less aluminum to fit z4 hubs instead of the costly e30m3 hubs. Even with machine shop costs, i still ended up saving about $200 by using z4 hubs.
