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

Just saying, something more substantial and informative would probably be received more positively. Historically we haven't had great results here when manufacturers butt heads with each other about whose product is less dumb.

The kit I got came with class 10,9 bolts. The machining on the sleeves is good; I cannot find any faults. I do not know what grade steel they're made of, but would be curious to hear what the OP says about that.

I'm still curious about my questions.

I'm not sure that dick swinging and trashing someone else's products makes yours 'quality'.

The inner bolt is reverse threaded.

What keeps yours from coming loose? What's the offset change with your sleeves? What rotors fit? Do they clear the tie rod knuckles? Do they come with caliper brackets? What are the machining tolerances? Why is the hex nut size so large?

Sorry if it came across that way, but I'm not the first that pointed out the flaws. Do you even know what kind of steel and what grade bolt that kit you just bought uses?

I know a thing or two about machining, I'll be happy to share some references, but don't want to come across as dick swinging. I got caliper brackets as well, but it seems that it really depends on what brakes you want to use. These sleeves are from the same as from the 5-lug kit that is posted in the group buy with all the blue anodized spacers, brackets, centering rings etc. I'm the one that machined all those.

I'm sorry but those look like cheap copies of what we made. What type of steel did you use? And why a zinc plated washer at the end? You expect that to hold up? What keeps it from coming loose? Bending in the washer doesn't prevent the nut from coming loose. I hope some of you that plan on using these are up on your live insurance, good luck! If you guys want quality sleeves I have a bunch of. Made from 4130 Steel. Send me a PM.

Sent that question to the supplier. Will reply once i get an answer.

Looks like that company already makes the brackets for the e38 calipers (at least the pic you showed looked like the bracket had their logo/name on it) but I'm not interested in the e38 calipers - couldn't find them online, ipso facto they're probably expensive.

I'd be interested in doing the 330i discs with wilwood superlite 4r's:

I personally would like to see brackets to fit evo 8/9 brembos. Calipers are decently abundant.

If i am not mistaken, there are calipers to fit E38 big Brembo brakes, would those interest you?

[yahh]

I could ask if you could give me some kind of description about the calipers and disks you want to use. Partnumbers, links, something.

I would buy 100% if they came with brackets for wildwoods.

If you could send me the correct part numbers of the calipers and disks you would like to use - i could ask.

The hoke is already there, you just need to reverse thread it. Well as far as i am informed.

So what are the odds your shop could make caliper bracket adapters for say, wilwood calipers instead of the stock e36/46 calipers? The bracket for the e28 has the shop logo on it, I'm assuming it wouldn't be too hard for them to crank that shit out.

Also, when installing the kit, do you have to drill and reverse thread tap the spindles or do you just tap it? Didn't see anyone specify.

Ah I see. Yeah measurements would be nice please.

[kronus]

Wohoo :)
Took longer than i expected.
Surprisingly last first time i sent it - it took only 10 days.

I think they got stuck in customs.

Are you going to keep abs?? If you find a way share with us please

I'm putting them into a '83 323i that didn't come with ABS to start with, so it's not a concern. I can take some measurements if you know what you're looking for, though.

[mohamed...]

they're here they're here



I'll be installing them this weekend if I get my M3 squared away and ready to track.
