    Interest in rear BBK for reasonable price

    I'm looking to gauge who would be interested in a rear BBK that will match the popular rx7 front upgrade. I have rx7 brakes currently and don't like the brake bias it provides (62F/38R). I have a design to use larger and vented rear rotors and BMW sliding calipers. Brake bias would then be very close to 50F/50R. Rotors are five lug and can be redrilled for use on factory 4 lug suspension. 5 lug use would assume stock suspension with E30M3 rear hubs.

    Particulars:
    290x19 disk
    BMW sliding caliper
    4 or 5 lug capable. (Would need to drill rotors for 4 lug.)

    I would sell the brackets and let you source the components.

    Thanks

    I know the e30 has a strong frontwards bias, but I'm not sure you would want that much shifted rearward. I'd be interested to see how it goes though.

        What i have calculated shows the stock e30 brakes to have close to a 50/50 bias until the proportioning valve kicks in then the bias is 60/40.

        Running the rx7 kit up front with stock rears takes the bias to 60/40 and 70/30 respectively.

        Having larger rear brakes will get it pretty close to stock.

                Would the stock parking brake be retained?
