Massive Sport kit installed

I love the look of it, now I can't wait to drive it!

Cut off the mounting hole for the old backer plates...


Mounted the adapter...


And the beauty...

[E30Idea]

Looks awesome!

Noice!!!

We now make out own 0.81" rotors with directional vanes (for improved cooling) and optional slotting. The rotors are 33% cheaper than Wilwood's and can be ordered sloted, which Wilwood doesn't have.

With the directional vanes, I am more comfortable with that Street kit to be used hard on the track.

How much are those again? Fit under 15'' rims?

$1050usd + pads
Free spacers included.
No extra charge for the new vented/slotted rotor.

New generation one-piece caliper brackets. They are now machined with integral spacers.

Fit under certain 15" wheels. Like Team Dynamic Pro Race 2.0
Don't forget that the rotors and calipers are really bigger than they look on pictures.


Rear brakes



Front brakes with 3mm spacers




A smaller 280mm kit is now available for people who are wheel-challenged... $660-$720usd

yea they are. i found out the hard way

Thanks for the compliments, guys - and thanks for the help with the kit, Lee. You're right, the calipers are very big, much wider than I pictured.

I'm swapping my bolt on wheel spacers for some traditional spacers, that should be here later this week. Hopefully I'll have some pictures up with the 18's mounted early next week.

Fit is very tight in 15" wheels, but is easier on 16" and 17" rims. Usually, the "conflicting" area is the round transition between the back of the spokes and the barrels.

The Superlite are indeed bigger and not as easy to fit as, say, the smaller Dynalite, but they offer much bigger/thicker brake pads, more stiffness and a superb selection of brake pads, especially for track use. Honestly, the Superlite calipers are equally good as AP Racing's CP52000 series.

so the install on these is very simple?

[Beej '86 325es]

I thought it was. I already had my backer plates removed, which is probably the hardest part. The only thing I had trouble with was figuring out which adapter to use and how...but that's only because I didn't read the directions thoroughly enough to see that I needed to cut off the upper mounting hole for the backer plate...and that only took 2 minutes with a cut-off wheel.

hey massive will any of your brake setups fit on my es with 16x8 sportmax 501s?? im in the market for a bbk

[Massive Lee]

Greg. Right?

You could probably check the Sport kit (as pictured in the initial post) or the newer 280mm kit. Download the Sport kit's profile here.

Or email me for a profile of the 280mm kit.

I currently have a silver Sport kit that was assembled but never installed as customer changed his mind and exchanged it for a 280mm kit. It comes with UL rotors and I will include free pads. Otherwise, the slotted rotors are extra.

Lee, Pls describe how the 280mm kit compares to stock on feel and performance. Will they fit under BBS RS et25 wheels? Are the discs 1pc or 2pc? Pad availability and choice?

Thanks

[Massive Lee]

Rotors are one piece 280mm x 22mm. Bigger in diameter and thicker than e30's stock 256mm x 21mm. The pedal will be much firmer than stock as you now have front fixed calipers with no sliding components but the pistons. Pedal will be more precise too.

Pad selection is now limited with the Dynapro as it is a new caliper, but selection will improve over months. I have no idea about fit with the RS wheel. But I have a profile in pdf format. PM me with your email and I will forward a profile. But overall, the fit shall be easy wit many, many wheels.

The older style Dynalite has a much wider selection of pads and can be used on the same brackets.

I have the 25mm MC, would it work?
