Alpina Big Brake Kit

[LJ851]

^
Thanks for the info.
This thread has already veered a little so i will ask this: My last E30 had oversize front brakes on it but the PO did it and i wondered if anyone knows the combo. 14" weaves would not fit over them and the rotors appeared to be corrado (vented with slots in the hat as well and the wheel mounting surface was thinner than e30 rotor. The caliper was a BMW caliper that fit the rotor perfectly and was bigger than e30 caliper. Any ideas?

Found out today from electrodyne/racing dynamics, who also sold a kit using 295 x 25 4-lug rotors and sold them seperately, the rotors are NLA. They were $249.00 EACH though, ouch!

i looked throughout the entirety of brembo and ate's euro catalog and couldn't find these rotors *shrug*

Can't speak for the E30, but Alpina's E21 rotors are unique to themselves.

on the trail of them in an oe maybe

FYI...The rotors are from another euro market only car just as the calipers.

Sorce the rotors and use a better mono block caliper with an adapter.

If you can get your hands on a D&W catalog, they have a VERY comprehensive list of rotors for just about every european car out there.

So, there is a simple bolt on bbk available?
Spill it! What rotors and what calipers?

[FredK]

oh? Is it a direct bolt on rotor?

They probably are branded differently in different markets where one or the other name is preferred or more well known.

Yeah thants what I figured, still a bit odd that they are branded Lucas when the other I have seen are girling

[LJ851]

The odd thing Greg is yes the correct part for the E30 would be a Girling caliper but the OP has Lucas calipers. Im wondering if this was a very either early or late run of these.

Same company, Lucas owns Girling i think.



The only thing special about those calipers is the box that says Alpina on it. The rotors on the other hand...

The calipers share w/ Audi and Mercedes, should be able to find them new still. There is no Alpina branding on the actual caliper right?

Which car? Part number from the calipers?

Correct just a girling stamp.
