$150, spindle adapters only. For now, you're on your own for brakes.
It'll be a few months, me made mine manually. He'd be cranking them out on a turning center which is still being set up. he has some issues with the power supply and is working on getting it back up and running.
Yeah, I did. I ended up making a 12mm spacer to fit behind the disc which solved the problem.
Although I'm only running e36 325i discs up front for now.
if I had to do it again, I think I would do it like Turbo Brown did. He took an e36 stub axle off and machined the inside to fit over the e30 stub axle and thread on the the existing splines. I like that, you can then just add an adhesive to the stub axle and threads (not your run of the mill Locktight). It should be sufficient to hold it. Or you could even weld the base.

(SA E30 here)
I didn't see that as nearly as safe as this, unless it were welded. For the price of E36 stub axles you could have this direct swap kit anyways. We scratched our heads (Mostly Jim) over this and this was the best result. The best part about it is that you can go back to 4-lug anytime if you so choose.
so you said the new hub is 5mm over the stock e30 hub. and you are using wheels with an offset of +13? wouldn't that push your wheel way out into the fender? no rubbing issues?

Outside the fender actually.
FYI: This was taken 150' from my storage unit. I did the front suspension right there, and took it home like that to pull the rear.
Once I get the rear suspension in I'll know where they sit in the back and can get some spacers.
