^^ a bias valve on the front line, pre-abs pump. look right next to the radiator resevoir ; /
i'll fab the line that replaces the limiter valve when i do my front brake lines.. they look dry. I just hope i can find the same brake "tune" without having to move the bias valve to the rear line :???:
erik, give us some info what you did to your car? i know its s50b32'd (nothing special), what about brakes?No more e30s for me.

ding ding ding ding.... My front and rear and a lot of extras were still cheaper. I would challenge any one with a BBK to a stopping contest. I'd actually like to see the difference.

I am using the dual master cylinders from Mike B. Once I do the rear Brembos, I'll probably end up going with a Tilton pedal box.

I'd be stuck using E30 M3 stuff - or E87 rear hubs. $$$. and I'd still need custom brakes, so a 4-lug BBK makes more sense.
the massive kits aren't that expensive, that's probably what I'll end up with next year.

I'd tend to agree, the Massive kits are pretty reasonably priced. Not like Wilwoods are the Ferrari of brakes but they are VERY cost effective (as opposed to say a pair of ST40s..).

Especially if you are like me and already have coilovers on 4 lug with good Koni's. Going Massive even for the bad boy kits is around $2500 front and rear. Then new wheels for the 5 lug, etc.
You can get some decent 17 x 8s and 17 x 9s now that clear BBKs, for under $300 each.
The only real justification I can see for 5-lug is to have a bunch of cheap OEM wheels to run. But if you are putting big sticky tires and Race brakes on your car, you are probably looking to run lighter wheels than what OEM has to offer.....Need parts now? Need them cheap? steve@blunttech.com

I didn't but pads or rotors front or rear. :)
