    The e46m3 and e36 m3 share the same FRONT caliper, with different size rotors. Both fit the FRONT.

    Thank you for your response it was confusing because of the designers thread, I will ditch the e46 m3 stuff and go with what you said, what brake line adapters do you speak of? Is the fitting different than others, my brake lines just screwed into e46m calipers. I remember reading something about certain calipers having to be switched to the opposite side they were intended to be on. Is this the case? To sum up all I need for rear brakes is e39 caliper and e46 325i rotor, and caliper carrier adapter from kit? Your help is appreciated.

    Zombie thread! But seriously I have this kit and with e46m3 rear calipers and rotors and can't get it to fit in the car, for one the rotor doesn't go on hub without the removal of back plate and parking brake mechanisms, which does not bother me because it's gonna be a track rat, but second when I bolt everything up with adapter the caliper carrier does not line up straight with the rotor , and the rotor rubs on inner side of carrier. My question is did anyone try and run e46m3 rear brake setup with success and without modifying anything, or do I have to use the e39 rear caliper with e46 325i rotor? My car is stuck without rear brakes right now because of this. Any help would be appreciated

    Just came across this post when researching my 5-lug swap. Are you still making these, and would it be possible to just buy the sleeves and brackets from you?

    So, is that a no on the sleeves separate?

    I first need to apologize for my gross lack of promptness in responding to everyone! I have unfortunately been insanely busy with the rest of that thing called life, so my apologies to everyone.

    Maybe the brake caliper bracket adapters too....

    The rear brackets would also include the rear brake lines and needed hardware, but yes they are available.

    Gentleman, yes the rear brake setup for the 135i kit is in the works, the rotor hats will be made shortly. The rear rotor hats will also include the drum for the parking brake.

    I'll post some pictures of the 135i kit and also the Porsche 997 GT3 PCCB caliper kit that I'm almost done with in the next day or two :D

    This. Possible? If so, how much are we talking?

    And feedback on this kit after some time has passed? I was reminded of it in another thread.
