304mm 4 piston bbk homebuilt.

they look like the standard brembo available on evo 6-9 and wrk v7 onwards. and i think even the e38 7 series has the same ones. i thought about doing this using them.

Props on thinking out if the box man. These and a matching bbk for the rear would be tits.

Nope. Bigger. And lighter.
Not Brembo.
Not steel.
And I posted what they were. never mind what they "look" like

brembos come out in alloy. the brembos on e38's are alloy. light as

I stand corrected ;)

Can you get 2 reman e38 calipers for 265 bucks? If you have question about this swap feel free to ask.

So I assume that 17" rims are necessary to fit these?

[E30RedtopSR]

15's no. possibly 16. 17 was an easy fit

How is the caliper clearance for spoked wheels?? (How far does the caliper stick out past the hub the wheel sits on?)

I am running Team Dynamics 17x9 et23 and there is a ton of room, I will have to measure to give an exact "protrusion" number.

I'll check tonight.

Thanks mate, appreciate it.

Awesome setup! I'd keep a spare set of rotors on hand just in case though. Not really something you'll find locally.

US spec e38 740iL calipers are single piston, e38 750iL calipers are only 2 piston, and neither look anything like the OP's mitsubishi calipers. ;)


Edit- It seems even the lowly 728i came with 4 piston calipers in euro markets. The 4 pot e38 calipers may be easy to find in your junkyards in auckland but chances of finding them here in the states are about slim and none. :/


OP-nice setup, looks pretty well sorted.
