    Sweet, let us know ASAP. I need better brakes badly, have the calipers already, and don't have the $ for 5-lug.

          $70 is steep, especially since there are a bunch of engineering majors on the forum with access to machine shops.

              Christ some people can moan- you dont have to buy the brackets, go and get the bits and measure and make your own then.

              I've just made a bracket for a similar upgrade and the bill from the machine shop was near enough to $70. by the time you add on his time and expenses I'd doubt theres much profit in them at all. And so what if he wants to make $10-$20 bucks a pair, sounds pretty reasonable to me.

              FYI, I actually picked up a pair of these calipers to do the upgrade but there no way a 4pot caliper will fit behind my wheels (16" schnitzers) so I ended up going with e28 535 calipers with 288x25 rotors. should provide a nice increase in brake performance without being overkill

                  Are you five lug or did you make an adapter? Feel free to PM me with details about your setup if you want.

                    maybe something from IE but I doubt anything with a 4 piston caliper will. there simply isnt enought clearance in front of the caliper-

                    Fidhle- I'm still 4lug but I got a rotor of an Audi A3 turbo and had it redrilled and the centrebore turned out a millimetre. Its just about to be bolted on so I wont say anything about how it performs until then

                        they're done, just trying to find time to actually make them since the shop is so damn busy. Likely i'll make them early to late next week.

                              production of these just keeps getting put off, sorry guys. I will make them eventually.... I'm in Job search mode, since its recruiting time for CA's, so its kind of hectic, and I have very little time.
