My plans might be changing again, I bought the 5 Lug conversion kit so I could run big brakes while keeping all factory BMW stuff so you can buy replacement parts for ever and in-expensive. This will make a great BBK, should have really good bias and OEM quality feel.
This setup would push the front hubs out 12mm so I bought rear spacers with the correct hub centric center bore to allow for the E30 M3 hubs. This is so that the rear has the same offset as the fronts.
The 5 Lug conversion has been discussed at length, below is a link to the kit I bought with all of the info.
1 x 5 Lug Conversion kit
1 x pair of Brand new E36 M3 Hubs
1 x Pair of E46 M3 front brake calipers (run E46 M3 front rotors)
1 x pair of rear E39 540i rear calipers (run E46 325i rear rotors)
1 x Front HPS 5.0 Performance Brake Pads (E46 M3 Pads)
1 x Pair of ECS 10mm spacers with extended bolts (the are V. Good Quality)
1 x Bearing Securing clips
All you need are the dust shields, rotors, rear bearings & Hubs, rear pads, Brake lines,
What I paid :
5 Lug Kit $450.00
Hubs $259.90
Front Pads $89.85
Spacers $99.00
Clips $4.15
Used Parts
Front Calipers $200.00
rear Calipers $100.00
Total $1202.85
I will sell it all for $1000 shipped
It took me quite a while to find all of this and get it all here, the calipers look ok to me but can be rebuilt cheaply if you wanted to, The 5 Lug Stuff is still in the box. I opened it to look at them only, New parts above are new in the packaging.
