Mini Calipers and Rotors

[grapedrink]

Tell me what you know about fitting the calipers and rotors on our cars. Is the spacing in the back for the caliper bolts the same?

[Beej '86 325es]

As far as I know, all of the calipers (non-M3) should mount the same. Not sure about the ix though...

EDIT: Ignore my post, I misunderstood what you were asking.

Mini Cooper bakes are TINY man, the rear also doesn't have a internal ebrake. it has a ratcheting caliper.

[grapedrink]

Yea am asking about the front brakes only. The stock setup is tiny but I am looking at a Front BBK for the Mini. It mounts to the factory locations and has larger rotor.

Am I the only one that is missing the big picture here? Why would you buy a Mini BBK when they make 4x100 BBK's specifically for E30's? They can't be that much more expensive.

[Jordan]

Yeah. Get yourself a IE BBK at wholesale. I think the the wholesale on the 330x28mm kit is like $750.

I don't want Cobra calipers.
The Kit is used and a friend has offerd it to me for a really good price. I will only buy it though if its a direct fit, if not then I will just continue with my 4 piston willwood setup.

The kit has a 4 piston AP Caliper and 304x24 rotors.
To piece together a 4 piston brake kit will cost $500 more and that is useing willwood calipers. This is has AP racing calipers and if its a direct bolt on then I would rather to this than mess with brackets etc.

I'd put money on it that it's not bolt on and would take quite a bit of modification to fit.

Well if thats the case then I will pass but that is what I am tyring to find out or see if anyone has any info. Mainly I just care about the calipers fitting properly.

I'm guessing it wont work, but there is only one way to find out.

[moatilliatta]

That would be lol if it worked. I was thinking of this today for my ix?
