New Massive brake kits for e30s

[Massive Lee]

I am glad to introduce a few new kits for e30s.

For the e30 M3, there are more affordable versions of the front and rear kits. This cut in price has been achieved by using the extra stiff Superlite forged calipers in replacement of the 6 pots SL6R. The kits with SL6R calipers are still available. All kits include custom (1/8NPT to metric) DOT compliant braided lines with silicone sleeve. Pads are extra as they depend on the car's use. From $75 to $175.

Buy two kits and get free shipping (at the same address) on installation kits.

Sorry for not having my website ready. It shall take a week or two.

Front M3 kit with Superlite calipers: $1200usd + pads
Installation kit only (no caliper or disc): $650usd
332mm x 32mm (13" x 1.25") two-piece rotors
Superlite Forged calipers

Rear M3 kit with Superlite calipers: $1100usd + pads
Installation kit only (no caliper or disc): $700usd
310mm x 32mm (12.2" x 1.25") two-piece rotors
Superlite Forged calipers
Steel emergency brake add-on: $250usd

Front 318-325 street kit with Superlite calipers: $870usd + pads
Installation kit only (no caliper or disc): $500usd
300mm x 21mm (11.75" x 0.81") two-piece rotors
Superlite Forged calipers
Note: With the street kit, wheels with at least 37mm clearance between its innerface and the hub are required. Ask for the kit's profile.

Front 318-325 race kit with Superlite calipers: $880usd + pads
Installation kit only (no caliper or disc): $550usd
300mm x 32mm (11.75" x 1.25") two-piece rotors
Superlite Forged calipers
Note: With the race kit, wheels with at least 51mm clearance between its innerface and the hub are required. Ask for the kit's profile.


Many will ask for Dynalite calipers (NDL). We only recommend using them for rear application or street use. They are good but not the stiffest, nonetheless they do allow 5mm more clearance on each side as well as in their radius.

What are the minimum wheel sizes for the two kits, and what size master cylinders do you recommend?

Top notch quality stuff, my roommate has one of these kits for the '02 he's building.

[Massive Lee]

Hi Brew. Who's your roommate?

To answer your question, 15" is the minimum wheel size.
The race kit requires wheels with a lot of clearance. Kosei K1 and Team Dynamics Pro Sport are just perfect. The street kit has the caliper tucked in by 0.45" which allows a wider selection of wheels. About 1.5" clearance required between the hub and the inner face of the wheel. Even with its thinner rotors, the street kit will be a HUGE improvement over the e30's stock lousy brakes. Profiles of both kits are available in pdf format. They will be on website, are available now by email.

A rear kit for the e390 318-325 with ebrake will be available in the Spring.

BTW Front and rear kits also available for e21s.

Pix of the calipers and/or kit mounted on a car? Is Superlite the brand of caliper?

[MR 325]

PM me a price on the E21 kits if you don't mind. I have a buddy whop may be interested.

[Vedubin01]

It is a line of Wilwood Brakes. I would also like to know about the Master Cyl. and the proportioning valve. I would love to jump on a set of these. Maybe here soon!

[Dave]

Lee - looks like a nice kit. Not in my track car budget right now, but maybe later this year, or next off season - I've spent enough on the old girl already.

Superlite Forged is a caliper made by Wilwood and is recognized among racer as being very stiff and the biggest bang for the buck. I will have pictures of the complete kit next week. Currently, all I have is development pictures made this summer. Hats were not anodized, and washers are obviously now replaced by a custom one-piece stainless steel shim. No more hydraulic adapters.

This is pre-prod pictures of the race kit.

Nice! I am a few mods away from a BBK upgrade :)

[DarkWing6]

Do you sell the them without the calipers?

[Massive Lee]

Do you sell the them without the calipers?

Yes, you can buy the installation kit. No caliper, no rotor, no pad.
Installation includes anodized hats, stainless steel brackets (aluminum mounts for the SL6R kits), custom DOT-compliant braided lines, and all fasteners. Install is very easy.

Prices are indicated in the first post.

Lee, is there a "powerslot" type rotor available for the 4 lug kit?

Those are very sexy. Looking at the 300MM.de "kit", I would have a single pot OE caliper and re-drilled Audi rotors.

Your kit, having "hats", thus replaceable rotors, 4 pot calipers (which use a fairly standard fitment of pad, correct?) and is only about $350 more expensive than buying used parts and hacking together odd parts...seems like one hell of a deal.

I did not see a reply to the question of what master cylinder to use.

Your product is forcing me to rethink my current plan.

[e304me]

how much are replacment rotors?

Hi Luke and e304me

The cost of replacing the two-piece rotor is about $35usd for the 0.81" disc, and $75usd for the 1.25". The 1.25" disc is a very heavy duty rotor, capable of enduring very high heat bursts. THis is a true race rotor. Another UL rotor can be susbituted, but would definitely recommend the HD one.

If you use a stock 21mm MC, you should go with calipers with 1.38" pistons. That will keep the pedal travel within stock configuration. People can also opt for the usual 1.75" pistons calipers along with a 25,4mm MC. as a rule of thumbs, a bigger MC is always better as it limits the pedal travel, at the expense of more pressure required. Size of MC will not affect front-to-rear bias as the same MC applies pressure to both fron and rear calipers.

Those who plan to install a front and rear kit shall opt for 1.75" front and 1.12" rear. Obviously, it is always recommended to fine tune the bias with an adjustable valve.

There is no Power slots (like ATE) but Wilwood makes slotted and drilled rotors, which I do not recommend for racing. They are okay for street though.

In regard of those kits that adapt a one-piston sliding calipers kits, I have a reserve on those. Pedal feel will not be better than with stock brakes. Sliding calipers always have play in the mechanism, they are extremely flexible and will absorb the pressure that should otherwise go to the pad. Also, some kits are known to bend the brackets when the sliding mechanism becomes grippy. There is a well known shop in Los Angeles that was plagued by this problem. I believe they went thru three generations of adapters before they fixed the problem. The only advantage of a sliding caliper is that they are slimmer on the outside, and therefore are easier to fit. The NDL caliper, while not being as stiff as the Superlite Forged, is a better solution than a sliding clamper. It is 5mm thinner on each face and has a smaller radius than the Superlite. Also, it is slightly cheaper than the Superlite and shall only be used with the street if you demand a lot on your brakes. Racers might be disapointed. I don't mean they are bad, only not as stiff.

:eeek: OMFG! those are freaking awesome!
I think i need to go change my underwear!
now i need to save up money for a set of these.
very nice looking product:)
