UUC - Big Brake Kit - Direct Fit caliper, 11.75" rotor

[markseven]

Since I am directly concerned in this comment, please allow me to straighten some facts. Massive is not a person. It's a company. And since this is only your fourth post here, please allow me to ask you in what type of automotive business you are. What's the company's name? Also, if you are seriously into automotive stuff, I guess you should at least take a look at the different options before making your own judgement on what equipment is best. This is what professionals in the automotive business do.

In regard of your comment about "Made in the USA", please let me pinpoint that "Wilwood" calipers and rotors are made in the USA as far as I remember. Not sourced from China as many automotive products, which I am sure you wouldn't sell. Right?

That being said, please feel free to bring any technical argument if you want to judge what product is best or doesn't deserve to be looked at. Otherwise, I'd believe your choice is not well founded. For your enlightment, here's a shot of what you are missing. Feel free to contact me for any request of info.

I can't believe you posted that :giggle:

"hey, you don't know how to operate in your vertical"

"hey, come check me out"

UUC: My car is S52 powered, meaning it has an E32 booster and master cylinder. Will this effect the performance of your kit?

I was looking into a brake upgrade a while ago and was considering a Willwood kit, but Micky at Bullet said the brackets flex. I am really happy that there is now an alternative...

Great product
Good price
USA made / distributed
Common courtesy, decency, professionalism

Excellent combo.

Well, a fair amount of us already have the 5lug swap in, and there would be offset issues with using e36 front end and e30m3 rear end stuff. Massive has a $1500 rear bbk for the 318ti, but there's not much sense in me using race calipers in the rear (and dropping a ton of money) and using e36m3 calipers up front, and it seems that just doing an adapter would be a lot cheaper.

I'm not sure how hard it would be to do, I certainly don't have the skills to manufacture it, just throwing out an idea :-). e36m3 rear calipers aren't very expensive, and would match the front calipers for those of us with the 5lug swap. If it could be done for a reasonable price it would be awesome and I'm sure there would be a market for it, if not thats okay too. Like I said, just throwing out an idea for you guys.

UUC should look into making a caliper bracket and rotor setup to allow for rear e36m3 brake calipers to be used on the ti 5lug swap :-D

Here's a better idea; why don't I just do an E30 rear BBK and offer a 5-lug rotor option, and you can just use the E30 M3 wheel bearing in the standard E30 trailing arm.

That'd save you a lot of time and money.

If you're using E36 or E46 front hubs, use one of my standard kits for those cars to match.

I spent a good portion of the morning reading this thread and learned alot. I can't wait to get one of these kits!

[Rob@UUC]

any confirmation that these fit TRmotorsport C1 15x8 wheels from tirerack?

I still don't have one of those wheels to test, and apparently neither does anyone else locally.

However, see this post:

Looks like it's really close, whether the indicated contact is measurement error or not is unknown.

However, that contact point is on a center bridge plate, not powdercoated... which means you could grind off that little corner without a problem.

Cool Rob. As said I put a review thread after this weekend when it really gets a workout.

Looking forward to it!

Hey guys,

Update:

Thanks to the constructive input and wishes expressed by our customers, there have been some options added to the UUC E30 BBK.

These options also affect the pricing structure. As initially posted, the $849 introductory price was terminated approximately a week ago. The new price is $995.

But the good news is that the new option list means you can still have the UUC E30 BBK kit for $849.

How is this possible? Instead of powdercoating, you can choose the less expensive anodizing in black or red and still pay only $849. Anodized calipers feature a very attractive laser-engraved UUC logo that stands out in a matte silver.

We really do appreciate the feedback and the overwhelming amount of orders - we're backordered again! Current orders will be shipping approximately around the end of the second week of June 2010.

As always, in addition to the color/finish/pad options shown on our website, you can call to request alternate changes such as any of the various rotor options (different vanes, etc.) and alternate pads (race pads from Hawk, etc.). You can also add matching OE-size rear rotors and pads and save on shipping!

Thanks again for all your responses. This kind of reception definitely has an impact on the future growth of the UUC offerings for E30!

[quote=dinanm3atl;2026438]Cool facts. Ever think that maybe he was referring to how you 'conduct business' on the forums and not the actual product itself? A vast majority of the post in this thread are just negativity and attacks against Rob, UUC and their product. Look at your last post... You aren't concerned. He said he wasn't considering your kit. Yet you still had to post and call out a random forum member.

Massive had all the rights to respond to his post. Not buying Lee's product is one thing but by spitting on it Lee is going to respond. And the fact that the product was "made in the USA" does not make it a good selling point. It made me want to vomit. Hence, stop making comparisons. Whomsoever want to buy Lee's product, they will and whomsoever want to buy Rob's product is going for one reason or the other.

May I suggest you reread the first page on this thread, and you shall see it started purely informative. It was entirely technical. And it stayed technical for a while. ;-)

BTW Looking at the pictures above (very nicely shots - is that your car?), it looks like at least one of my comments was 100% founded. Especially about the disc friction height not being tall enough for the pad, by at least 1/8". So please, let's keep it technical. BTW DinanM3atl, did you remove your backing plates yet? ;-)

I read this thread. I photographed and drove a car with the brakes. Still undecided I read some more. And the way you conducted business on the forum is what turned me off. So now I have a UUC Big Brake Kit on my E30. And love it. If I was you I would consider the way that you enter threads and how you reply. Using the "Here is why product X sucks and a link to my better product" doesn't sell all that way in my opinion.

... I am in the automotive business as well...
I won't even LOOK at the other person's kit now.
