Cheapest source for NEW Wilwood calipers?

OK, cool then. I just wanted to verify I was not crazy.

Well aware. What I couldn't remember was if the backing plate was in front of or behind the hub/bearing assembly.

IE, if I want to completely remove the heatshield am I going to have to pull the hub/bearing assembly.

I'm the type of person that if I'm going to have to pull a 19 year old wear part on a car to do a job, I'll go ahead and replace it so I'll never have to do it again.

Gotcha, I mis-read your question. I'm pretty sure it's behind the hub assembly if my mind serves correctly. My M3 five lug stuff came without them and I know I didn't want to replace them. However, that may be because they were somewhere north of $100 per side.

yes, the heat shield is definitely behind the hub. It can be easily liberated with a pair of tin snips though.

I bought mine from Summit, I scoured for like a month and they had a good price and I felt more trusting of them then from some little site on the web. I unded up searching for a coupon code and found on that was something like 15% off and free s&h. See if you can find something like that, I forgot exactly how much it was but it was way cheaper than anyone else. BTW be prepared to wait about 3 weeks to get them as they are not a stock item.

Quick question, I just bought the same exact caliper BUT I noticed these are powder coated black vs Lee's anodized ones. I'm thinking this is no big deal right?

Cheapest place I found was you when I bought mine from you last april. :-D

What size specifically do you need? Sorry, too lazy to look up what the kit takes but I do have a pair of NEW dynopro calipers in my garage needing to go away.

With Buddy in the market for another e30 and glancing at the March date I passed right over 2010. I was too busy thinking that SOB got another e30 and didn't even bother to tell me...

LOL when is he not looking at other cars? We all know he's going to be back in the E30 game sooner or later!

Yes, I've got cash and I am looking. On the tight side for the car budget, but I'm trying to work on a deal for one right now.

D, as far as the powdercoat vs anodize, I never even noticed! But those calipers came from speedshop in Arizona and not through Lee. But they are the same model number/piston size as the one Lee sells.

Lol, Gregspeed

Nice. Haha I didn't realize myself until I opened up the box and I was like...this is awfully glossy, AH FUCK these aren't anodized. W/e, doubt it will make too much a difference anyway.
