      I might machine out a couple sets this weekend, I only have enough material for about 3 sets.

        I heard some rumors that with e36 hubs and a bit of machining you could keep your existing e30 abs, unlike the e28 setup that I'm working with.

          this is true, from the looks of it it has the same abs ring pattern

            well, I will buy one of the 3 sets.

            You said you have not gotten them figured out for the e36 m3 fronts. Well, does anyone know how big those are because I am only running 16" wheels. Maybe I hear the 330i E46 is a decent upgrade.

            What do you think?

              e30 has a different caliper center spacing than an e36, e36 brakes will not fit without adapters

              you need a caliper that has a 3.5 inch center to center spacing

              possibly<<<< z3 1.9 front rotors would work with your stock brakes >>>possibly

                I have no idea how, but one german builder used e30 M3 dics and 325i stock caliper.

                Unfortunately the picture does not reveal how the pads sit on the dics, but I'd say the pads don't come even near to the outer edge of the discs(which is bad?), the carrier must be modified heavily.

                  So what rotor/caliper combo are you using?

                      Off the top of your head....

                      What caliper/rotor combo will work?

                      The e46 330i set up wont work?

                      Again, I honestly have NEVER worked on my brakes so I dont know their parts.

                          ok, so I cannot really get bigger brakes with your kit? I have to use the stock e30 brakes?

                            you can do whatever you want, but it would be all custom

                              ok, but can I still use your kit with different rotors?
