      No but these are cheaper then the $1000 kitshttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...951781267&rd=1
      ;)

      If somebody does fine some Dirt cheap 4-piston calipers I want to know. I'd look into the 750il front calipers, E28 guys find them all the time, a rotor that fits is all that is needed.

          A simple gander at wilwoods site will show you many cheap 4 pot calipers.



          They have prices. As soon as I work the electrical gremlins out of my car I'm going to be working on milling out some mounting hats for a front kit. I have a strange design for the rear that may let us keep our ebrake... We'll see.

          Anyway, more to come on this in about 3 months.

              I've heard IE just uses Corvette calipers for there kit. You could buy the rotors just from them, and get the calipers cheap off ebay.
              If you have a junkyard with cheap prices, just go and get some 4-lug rotors and start mixing and matching with calipers till you find a match. Heck if it's a pull apart yard you don't even have to buy them, pull them off and start putting them on e30's. :twisted:
              But the Wilwood calipers are cheap, and light, with parts readily available for good prices.

                cool, keep us updated on the custom 4 piston caliper deal.

                I have a full set of Porsche 993 brembo calipers sitting in my room crying to be used. But i dont know where to begin.

                  haha- start by finding a wheel with a 40mm offset and a 20mm spacer, cuz you're going to need it to get clearance on those calipers!... maybe not that extreme, but yeah...
