Q Ship. Calipers will be Dynapro then.

Georges. I don't favor sliding calipers. If stopping power is the goal, then HT10 pads on stock e30 M3 brakes will do the job. But if modulation and feeback are required, then nothing beats fixed calipers.

Awesome work Lee! Awesome!

Will you be working on a "SBI" type e36m3 adapter for e30m3 5-lug set ups? I drove a car (M3 Ryan's m3) with them on, and I was SO impressed with the stopping power - not to mention, cheap rotors, and pads. Only down side was the need for 17" wheels. Is that something on your radar?

Also - do you have a recommendation on brake lines that you really trust?

Thanks Lee! Keep it up!

I strongly vote for the Dynapro, why design a new brake kit for a caliper that is going out of production? Also, if the bracket is made to fit the Dynapro, then an upgrade to a Dynapro 6 caliper is possible, which is my plan. The Dynapro will have pads available from everyone, seeing as it's the Dynalites replacement.

Thinking about it, this is make or break for me. Count me out if the brackets are made for the Dynalite.

[Massive Lee]

Okay guys. Here's how it works. I have to purchase 24 sets of calipers to get a decent price. Therefore, it will be either Dynapro or Dynalite. Not both. I will let you decide, in the light of the info posted here, what you want.

One other option is that I hope the brackets are not already into production as we speak. I can slightly tweak the design so that they actually fit the Dynapro calipers. Then, if a Dynalite caliper is fitted to the bracket, then the pads will be only 1.7mm lower (1/16") which really is no big deal, and probably even much less than the untouched border on your stock rotors. Would that suit everyone?

If i want the Dynapro caliper as initially offered, can i still get it? I like the caliper enough to stick with Wilwood pads for the time being. That was the one in the linked picutre right? So what was the deal with the Hawk pad that was gonna come with the Dynapro?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Joel

I used to have a set of LS 7.5" and remember they did have some room. But to what extend, I don't know. I just emailed you the profile a minute ago. Let us know how the fit is.

For now, the Dynapro "only" has Wilwood pads. A, B, E, BP10, BP20. The E pads is a bit dusty (but non-coorosive), lasts a long time with medium grip and is extremely smooth on rotors. I see it as the perfect HPDE pad. Install and forget them.

Id open my wallet a bit as well.......!

.....Ill take some measurements myself....BUT do you know "offhand" if the Ronal LS 15/7.5 et 24 wheel works......

.

oh....what type of pads are avail now for the dynapros?...

Just remove the wheel and take a measure. That will tell you where you stand.

Any idea how much farther out the Dynalite is from the rotor hat compared to the stock E30 caliper? There appears to be 1" or more between where the new rotor would be and the inside spoke of the wheel.

I meant to say an inch or more between the caliper and the inside of the spokes.

[Massive Lee]

Here's more "inside" information. Wilwood will discontinue the Dynalite caliper in favor of the newer Dynapro. Problem is that for now, pad selection is very limited for the Dynapro and is confined to Willwood's offering, while pad selection will remain great for the Dynalite for years.

Therefore, I will supply Dynalite calipers for the first year, then when pad selection improves, I will offer Dynapros. The brackets are similar, the only difference is 1.7mm in height. If I offer the Dynapro right away, some of you won't be happy with the lack of pad options...

[jackbenny]

Agreed, I think I would prefer the racing brake rotors.

Oh price creep, ya get me every time....

[z31maniac]

Like the racing brake rotors. Especially since they are painted/anodized or something so the hat won't get all rusty and nasty looking.

I haven't gotten a chance to take the wheel off the car yet and throw the template behind it, but I was looking at my wheels today when I picked it up from the shop and there is ample room back there.
