Somewhat technical question for you . What’s the caliper piston area increase in this kit over stock e30 calipers ?Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

540i rear calipers have 40 mm piston
Stock E30 is 48 mm front, 33 mm rear.
If you have a manual setup, this is a great first step towards functional brakes, at the cost of having to run 17s. Brake pedal effort is easily reduced by 50% or so.

I've contacted you before
But just wondering, by any chance do you see a group buy for this in the future?
Or once they're gone that's it?
I ask because I only need the front setup
Hell if there's a group buy I'll buy a full set and fronts if I need to cover a slot lol
Thanks in advance
