Massive - 280mm x 22mm BBK - $660usd

Or is the website price on this kit raised $90 after every GB?

Website has the regular price. GB price is a promotional price, which is the goal of a GB.

This thread should be closed now.

This thread is officially closed. The proper GB for the rear kit is now located here.

Lee, I sent an inquiry to Pelican regarding pricing for the rotors. I also asked if they could find out if BMWNA has any in stock (doubtful) and how many may be in stock in Germany.

I'd like to see a seperate thread regarding the rear kits, would you like to start it or should I? I think it will be better if you do, but I don't know if you want to hassle with it right now.

Thanks!

Why is the price of this GB higher than the initial one. Or is the website price on this kit raised $90 after every GB?

Personally, I don't care about 15s as I run 17s.

And the smallest I saw undrilled was 309.6 I thought, may not be the right offset either, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Those wont fit under 15" wheels though i bet. Smallest diameter is 304mm

[z31maniac]

These.

Or does it push the price of a kit up to near what your Race kit for the rear is anyway? Although you could elimnate the extra $250ish for the parking brake and use the stock stuff?

What do you mean by "parking brake rotors"? For the rear e30, all I am doing is producing rear adapters to fit Z1 rotors and Dynapro calipers. I won't develop anything outside of that.

As far as Z1 rotors availabitily, it will probably be a custom order. But if Pelican is told that 10 sets are needed, I am pretty sure they can bend over a bit. As far as waiting for them, by the time 10 orders are gathered, then parts produced, that won't be done overnight either. By the time all payments are in, then CNC will start (another 3 weeks) plus metal finishing (another week)...

So has anyone checked the ACTUAL availability of these rotors? I realize they are listed a few places but are they going to be some special order wait for weeks kind of thing if you need another?

Lee, what would it take to get one of the Wilwood parking brake rotors to work? I see they sell some undrilled.

Who actually uses their parking brakes anyway?

I do everytime I park my car. I don't know if it is correct or not but I have always believed in using the parking brake to hold the car rather than having the gears in the transmission hold the weight of the car. That said I also put in gear after the weight is on the parking brake just to be safe.

Pending a little more information I am in for this also. I assume since the z1 is built on an e30 chassis that the e-brake and everything would still work? What would you do about the backing plate? Obviously it needs to be retained for E-brake function but will it clear the large rotor?

I can't say absolutely because I don't have a rotor in my hands yet, but the first thing I did when I looked at the link I posted above was run out and look at my backing plates-lo and behold, there is more space for a bigger rotor. It appears to be a straight bolt on, with the parking brake function retained.

Don't worry, I can do it.

One step ahead, I see. Very good, I hope this works out.

Hi Brian.

I have a few tricks in my sleeves. The Dynapro caliper with 1.00" pistons currently fits 21mm discs. I can order a batch customized by Wilwood that will fit 10-11mm discs. Which is why I need a GB on 10 kits, to order a minimum of 20 calipers with custom specs. Don't worry, I can do it.
