My custom 5-Lug

[JTapper]

UPDATE (not what you wanted to hear):

The person who made these WILL NOT be doing any sort of business through me due to recent events having absolutely nothing to do with work performed for me.

I'll be finding another shop, but it will be a while. I have a million things going on this summer, and a vert to get ready for a show in a week.

Just out of curiosity, What exactly is holding the hub onto the spindle on your setup? Friction alone? Thread lock? Usually there is a nut the bolts onto the spindle where you hammer a point into a channel on the spindle. Im not thread crapping but Id hate to see the hubs loosen up and cause some catastrophic failure.

The good lord keeps it torqued for me.




































Actually, There is a key on the backside of this cover that slips into the notch on the stub axle. Loctite as well.

I want to wait and see prices on these, but want to start snatching up e36 m3 suspension parts now......any idea or is it just "soon"?

[TexasTerp]

Any luck yet this month?

[JTapper]

I've been way to busy to even deal with these. I've just been enjoying my E30 to the fullest.

I also would like to put some miles on them first. Have just over 2k on them with no issues.

No carrier machining neded..

[JTapper]

Just be certain that the spacer you're using is tight. It needs to be near a press fit.

[emil e30]

they are a press fit...They are machined to sit on hub and the other side of of spacer is a hub copy´d with a breake disc and whell fitment....sorry for my english is kinda BAD

[dranttna]

why use m3 calipers for a bolt on kit if they need machined? im sure there are way better calipers that would work with a simple bracket, c5 vette would be easy to make a bracket for and wouldnt have wheel offset problems. something else would probly work better but these were my first thought.

looks great so far, hope it gets produced

my calippers,brakediscs and hub are e36 328i....I have 15mm spacer on the hub and a bbs rs 005 16x7 front offset 11,and there would definitely be some problem whith front offset

[dranttna]

there are alot of other two piston floating calipers besideds the c5's. they are two pistons on one side instead of one like bimmer which will give you more pad area. the outer side of the caliper would stick out about the same as any bmw floating caliper. but my point was that you can make a simple bracket without machining the spindle or caliper due to the mounting design, therefor making a more "bolt-on" kit.

[e30shmobberr]

Wow great design so far!
