Revolutionary "Direct Fit" big brake kit is the only one of it's kind for your 1984-1991 E30 325/318. The Direct Fit BBK is not a generic caliper adapted to your car; it is a purpose-built caliper that bolts to the wheel hub just like the original brake system without an intermediate bracket. As an added component of this specialized design, the caliper has been specially shaped for maximum compatibility with E30 wheels to minimize and often eliminate the need for wheel spacers.
Incorporating the real-world needs of racers and street car enthusiasts, UUC's "rationalized" brake package that uses a 4-piston caliper designed specifically as a "direct fit" for the E30 3-series for better braking, lighter weight, and idealized front/rear brake bias, all in an affordable package with a large offering of performance street and race pads.
Our front kit features a 2-piece 11.75" rotor with our own UUC Direct Fit 4-piston calipers. Requires 15" or larger wheels.
Special features that make this kit unique:
Direct Fit caliper built as a bolt-on for E30, no intermediate bracket.
Ultra-low clearance means no spacers for some of the most popular 15" race wheels such as the D-Force LTW 15x7.
Staggered piston sizes for progressive pad engagement and reduced tapered pad wear.
All consummable parts easily available; uses a standard Wilwood pad shape (7212) or other-brand equivalent and standard Wilwood 11.75" rotor.
All kits include stainless steel brake lines (including rear lines), Hawk Performance Ceramic street pads, and all brackets and hardware required for installation.
This kit part number fits the front of these vehicles:
1984-1992 E30 325, 323, 320, 318 (all variants including IX)
________________________________
The 4-piston UUC Direct Fit caliper is legal for various SCCA and BMW CCA classes that limit piston count.
Our calipers feature pistons made from stainless steel pistons, used for its slow heat transfer properties and high resistance to corrosion. Cooler temperatures translate to longer service life and less chance for heat induced pedal fade. Two piece, recess-mounted bleed screws and internal fluid tubes are protected from track debris and other potential damage sources. High temperature, square faced bore seals provide the largest possible sealing area and controlled piston retraction on release. The full range of Wilwood and Hawk race pad compounds is available to match the brake response and heat range of any competition or sports driving application.
