    Any done a 5lug swap using these?



    A good way to get the front parts you need and get a complete matching suspension upgrade at the same time yeah?

    Then use E28 hubs and/or genuine M3 hubs and brakes.

    What other BMW rotor and caliper combo's bolt directly to the E30 M3 strut?

    Not very cost effective.

    I think Ted had those on his 330i.

      Cheaper to get spring and shock parts seperately then, and get used struts?

      Turner has the the parts in the above link for $1850

      How about the second part of my question?

        You can use E36 M3 brakes with the SBI spacer, as Jordan has done. Probably your best option.

          or you can use an e46 m3 rotor with a spacer and an 850i brembo 4pot caliper... there is a huge thread on it over at s14.net.

              That also comes up to be like $1500 in parts.

                What, you thought a 5-lug swap would be cheap? Come on, you know better, I'm sure.

                Besides, the setup Addi posted is fucking gnarly and you'd easily pull over a G on hard stops.

                  NVM I was just thinking just the brake upgrade alone, I forgot all you "regular" e30 owner only have 4 lugs :)

                  I was just browsing through this sector of the forum about the e36 upgrade
