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

[e30rida]

Is this kit available with slotted rotors? Really debating between this kit and Massive 2 piece rotor kit.

And will a similarly priced kit be produced for the E30 M3. The alcon kit is too pricey.

Man that anodized is hot. Wowsers.

Indeed.. a fellow in my neighbourhood anodized a set of rims (!) red, which came out pink. They look really excellent on his red prelude. :o

[Rob@UUC]

Any chance of custom colors for anodizing too?

I'm going to say no because anodizing color rarely looks like what you would expect... it's really a translucent effect, not solid like powdercoating. Black is pretty simple, red is reasonable, but other colors can be unpredictable.

/\ Now that is taking constructive criticism and working with it. From the website it looks like the anodized calipers are at no extra cost. :up: I think the black anodized would look very nice. Can we get a picture of that, as well as a side-by-side to the stock rotor and caliper size?

Sorry, I don't have pics of the black anodized at the moment. The pic is a sample we did on a prototype caliper (not suitable for sale). We're in production on calipers right now (as the first production run sold out a week ago), so when more are done, I'll post complete pics of all the colors.

I'll see if we can post some pics tomorrow of the BBK and OE calipers behind the same D-Force wheel.

Got it, replied!

For the other inquiries I've been getting regarding the appearance of the anodizing, here's a close-up of a test part:

Gotta let those calipers breathe man! ;)

Should work perfectly fine. I have an older version of our kit on my '89 iX.

Well that is good because I have iX and E32 master :)

Will a similar kit be offered for the e30 M3? What I don't like about this kit is the flat hat and the fact that it it's not anodized. Looks kinda cheap compared to Massive's. I do like the price and the CS provided by UUC.

We already do make an E30 M3 kit with an Alcon caliper and 13" rotor that is distributed exclusively through Elephant Motorsports.

The standard E30 hat that we make appears flat to add material for strength where the mounting hardware for the rotor disk is located. As with everything we manufacture, strength is a primary concern. The hats could be anodized if requested, or the end user could simply use some flat high-temp spray paint (as we've seen some customers do) with very satisfactory results.

UPDATE: For new orders, we are offering the option of anodized calipers in either black or red. Keep in mind that anodizing has a somewhat different appearance than powdercoating, showing more of the machined finish/texture of the caliper body.

I have a Girling piggyback booster (iX?) and E32 master. How will this combo work with your UUC BBK?

Can someone confirm if this kit will fit under the BBS RS001 or the one pc 15" x-spokes?
