Had a great time ripping into this for a few days. Unfortunately found some rust I was unaware of. Pretty good sized hole in passenger firewall corner. But Jake assures me he can cut it out and patch it. Other than that hole the rest of the car is better than I expected... After working on Jakes new lift I will be ordering my own soon. So nice to have,....

The 135 brakes fit inside the 17" throwing stars. The 135 rotors are a bit to deep tho. Going to have to look for some different rotors.
I would personally be going with the 345mm CSL discs (for long term supply) with a 13mm spacer, as 17x8" will be perfect.
Example:
Edit: I'm pushing for you guys to do kit because I'm just about to pull the trigger on the 6 piston fronts and twin piston rears and want to run throwing stars :D

Does the 135 caliper bolt straight onto the e30 m3 strut? Does it change the offset needed for the rotor?
Saab 9-3 aero cars have a 314x28mm front disc that has a very similar offset to it that may work with a little machining. They are 45.2 mm high compared to the m3's 40mm.Originally posted by codyep3I hope to Christ you have looks going for you, because you sure as fuck don't have any intelligence.

Are running M-systems a must? I found with willwood calipers and my old green m-systems, that I had to run a lot of spacer to clear the spokes. I remember running M-systems with 235/40/17 tires on the front of my old e30 M3 and the offset was already a bit tight. If you have to space the wheel away from the 135 caliper as much as I did with the willwoods, I really don't think it will fit unless you run some stupid 195/25/17 tires. Keep the stretch to butt holes only.

Those saab rotors look good but the bolt pattern is not 5x120... Looks like 5x110
any other ideas?www.classicdaily.net
