    I'm definitely interested in this kit and I plan to buy it at some point but unfortunately I don't have the funds available for the right now. Which sucks since I'd love to save some $ at this intro price. :(

    I would agree with the last few posts. Ron knows what he is doing. If there was any doubt, just check the latest edition of European Car Magazine. There is a nice story of Ryan's S54 E30 M3, where Ron is mentioned, because he did a lot of the work and developed the sick brake set up for Ryan's car.

    Frankly, I'm surprised more members haven't jumped on this kit. The need for a good 5-lug conversion seems to be the #1 topic on this forum, and even in the E30 community, for that matter. What gives? This is obviously a quality kit, WITH the added bonus of a BBK - another popular topic.

    I guess you can lead the horses to water, but you can't make them drink!

    This just happens to come at the wrong time, I've been waiting for this kit for so long too! I'll definitely be in to purchase at MSRP when the time is right.

    Awesome job!

    Yeah, Ron and Ryan G worked on my car a few years back - I had urethane bushings put in and a bunch of other stuff. I can confirm that Ron knows his stuff.

    Don't let Ron's low post count fool you, this guy knows his stuff and is a great seller!

    Thank you very much! I'm happy that I can contribute some knowledge and fun.

    There has been a lot of interest, but not much commitment unfortunately. Please do keep the kit in mind, and also that I'm developing 2 other front brake fitments. One for smaller 16" wheels and also the 135i Brembo's for the extreme end of things.

    Thanks again!

    Okay guys, the group buy is set to end tomorrow! As of now, only one kit has been purchased and will be shipping out next week.

    Anyone else want to jump on this before the kit goes up to $2,499?

    I am running ET 44 E36 fitment wheels all around, and I have a 5mm spacer in the front, and a 15mm spacer in the rear. The front spacer isn't needed, the wheels still clear the strut by literally 3mm! I have my front spacers just for vanity.

    With the front camber raked in, 17" style 5's fit in the front as well.

    Thank you! I like to do E30 nose stands to impress the ladies haha :D

    Ron, for the front brakes, does the spacer behind the rotor reduce the amount of lip remaining on the hub to center the wheel? How thick is that spacer?
    Thought of a hub extender ala turners design?
    Todd, the rotor spacer is as thick as the rotor is. To correct for this, I have developed a hub extender that also acts as a dust cap for the wheel bearing. I will post a picture of them.
