5 Lug/BBK Kits

Boom

Got my kit! Hats off to elcoy for organizing this group buy and Nasieg for making it!

Also scored some 528i rear calipers today at pick-n-pull. Time to start stockpiling parts!

Kits have shipped!

I honestly hadn't planned on installing this kit immediately. So, I just procrastinated and failed to look up everything that i have to buy to make it all work. I'll eventually get around to it, but, it does take a fair amount of money to make it all happen, and i have other things in my life, and other projects (m50 swap) on my car that need to happen.

Btw, The e30 master cylinder prop valve should supply the proper brake bias to the new setup, right? Because, here in the US mil side of germany, they do a 4 corner stop test to ensure that your brakes are even with each side, and the bias is around 70/30.

I lucked out I got used front e46 M3 calipers, carriers and lines for $100 and E39 528i rears with carriers and lines for $60. Used is the only way I found to get calipers and carriers at a decent price. You can rebuild the caliper pretty easily and cheaply yourself, as long as the pistons aren't corroded.

I wish I remembered where I saw the information on the e28 hub....

[Djmack]

I believe the e28 rear hub works, except for the abs ring.

I don't have ABS, nor do i plan on installing it. I'll look around and see if i can find a thread confirming the e28 to e30m3 hub.

Also, I'm having trouble finding brakes. It would literally just be easier and cheaper for me to buy reman'd calipers at oreillyauto or autozone, but the issue would still come down to finding the brake carriers. and (RapeYourWallet) turner motorsports sells used ones for $100/per. I'm looking out for a decent pair on both US and DE Ebay. But, a lot of people are only selling rear calipers.

I viewed JIMBOkye's parts list, and i noticed that the rear setup seems to be a large chunk of change more than the front, mainly because the e30 m3 stuff is difficult to find used.
So, is there any cheaper way for this?

Next is plating and shipping!

I wish I didn't have 1000 other things to do to my car before I can put these on. Such a tease!

Tuesday Update!!!

Small amount of machining left, then just plating! Look for another update soon!

[acolella76]

Spacers aren't that sketchy as long as they are made right and a longer bolt is used. 2.5mm isn't very much

[VBe30]

Yeah..that's probably a little sketchy. Especially for a braking system. I'm going to wait until I get this kit before I make any more assumptions.
