Just took a look through the other thread - those adapters are for e36m3 hubs, which aren't compatible with non-m hubs, right? If so... the two products aren't even comparable.

Another 5lug option? | Now for the rear too!

Some people will buy yours, some people will buy the OPs. Everyone wins.
BTW, these sleeves have been available for years in Europe (at least a decade) by various companies using this exact same design. Its nothing new or unique.Projects Hartge,Alpina & AC Schnitzer Builds.http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=280601

Any particular reason you want to run wilwood superlites instead of dynapros? Theyre almost twice the price...Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30

Hmm... so after crunching some numbers, it looks like if all you want is brake torque, go for the 330i calipers.... which is what I want. The piston surface area is somewhere around 4.3 sq.in. and wilwood's site doesn't list their calipers as much larger (enough to make a cost efficient decision. I guess the only thing they've got going for them is they don't float)
Just to double check, the e46 330i caliper brackets will bolt onto the supplied bracket adapters? If so, please PM me paypal instructions.

Using the calculator at http://www.jakelatham.com/radical/in...culators.shtml I came up with the following (rough) figures:
Needed brake torque (based on 2700lbs, 50/50 weight distribution and a cg height of roughly 18"): 3262.5 lb/ft
All figures are with a 6:1 pedal ratio and 70lbs of brake pedal effort
E30 stock everything
F: 535.46, R: 329.81, Total: 865.27 (and yes, it feels like my brakes are way underpowered right now)
3/4" Master cylinder
F: 771, R: 474.9, Total: 1246
5/8" Master cylinder
F: 1110.3, R: 683.9, Total: 1794
E36 brakes, stock e30 master
F: 880.9, R: 414.42, Total: 1295
3/4" Master cylinder
F: 1268.5, R: 596.76, Total: 1865
5/8" Master cylinder
F: 1826.5, R: 859.34, Total: 2685.98
330i front brakes, E36 rear brakes, stock e30 master
F: 11434.7, R: 414.42, Total: 1558.13
3/4" Master cylinder
F: 1646.95, R: 596.76, Total: 2243
5/8" Master cylinder
F: 2371.6, R: 859.34, Total: 3230
They're significantly more powerful than the e30 brakes and were designed for a car that weighs roughly 600lbs or so more... hopefully they don't fade too bad under heavy use.
