Yes its bolt on. Use your stock control arms, struts, and springs/hats etc
You will need to have the car aligned after as the tierod boltup point on the e30 M3 hardware is quite a bit spaced out from the normal e30.Tenured Automotive Service Professional - Avid BMW Enthusiast

The calipers are a direct bolt on yes. You have to use e36 M3 rotors with them, and to center the rotors in the caliper jaws you must use SBI's rotor spacers.Tenured Automotive Service Professional - Avid BMW Enthusiast

is there a difference between the m3 rotors and standard e36 rotors? If i were to go with 325is rotors and calipers would i still need to space it or are they smaller than the m's? Also which caliper brackets would i be using? e30 m3 or e36? or does it matter?Last edited by gazellebeigem3; 11-14-2005, 10:56 AM.

I don't know.
No one would ever fuck with normal e36 shit. Not worth the time.
used/rebuilt e36 M3 calipers are dirt cheap, and so are the new rotors.

did you not read it? he has all thats shit for FREE, as well as the fact that the rotors are already bigger then stock e30's.
Theres no fun in going all out the first time, cause then you go no where from there and end up getting bored with your car, aint that right jordo?

I still have plenty of upgrading to do.
When I get bored of these brakes I can install the e46 floating rotors, with 850CSi 4pot Brembos.
