    Yes I'm most definitely going to reproduce and sell this kit! I'm right in the middle of testing it on my own car before I offer up kits for sale.

      I have a set of 18x85 BBC CH rims with 35ET and e36 fitment.

      I also have UUC BBK for the e30.. Would something like this allow me to mount these on my e30?

        Uuc brake kit is four lug so no you would need a new hat for the rotor to make it five lug I wouldn't even bother if this set up allows you to run e46 brakes then you have a ton more options for a bbk

          Awesome!

          I am definitely interested if the price is right.

          Where in NorCal are you?

            How much?

                Your BBS wheels will most definitely fit! And as for the UUC BBK, that will only fit the stock 4 lug set up, my kit fully replaces all of that, gives you E36 front hubs and E46 M3 brakes all around...much much larger than the UUC kit.

                And in response to how much, my ball park price for a FULL KIT is $2000 to $2500, which is going to include the following:
                -all custom front hub adapters, rotor spacers, front and rear caliper brackets, all new required hardware, new rear trailing arm to caliper brake lines
                -brand new factory front E36 M3 hubs/wheel bearings
                -brand new factory E30 M3 rear hub flanges
                -brand new factory E30 rear wheel bearings
                -all machined parts will be fully zinc coated; kit will come with fully detailed installation instructions
                -custom parking brake shoes with factory fit and function in order to fully retain the parking brake with no modification to the system
                -ABS STILL WORKS!
                -and please keep in mind, due to a lack of consistent caliper supply and people's different preference of rotors and pads, this kit does not include them.

                This kit is purposed to be the most badass brake set up you can get for your badass E30 for the money, and retain factory quality and all functionality. I am running my stock booster and master cylinder, and my stock fitment braided front brake lines, and with no need to upgrade them.

                Timing wise, I now have exactly a month today on the set up without a single issue!

                  So you get e36m3 offset for the front and e30m3 rear? in addition, you can choose either e36m3 rotor or e46 rotor?

                    You get between the stock E30 and E36 front offset, and yes the E30 M3 rear offset. And currently, only the E46 M3 rear rotor works with the caliper and bracket, as the E46 M3 rear rotor is larger in diameter than the E36 M3 rear rotor.

                      Sweet, did you use e46m3 caliper for the front too? Or an e36 m3 caliper work? Definitely down to pick one up, and I'm local.

                          I used an E36 M3 front caliper because they are far cheaper and easier to get ahold of! Sounds great, you are more than welcome to come up to Auburn and check it all out in person if that's something you would like to do!

                          I hope before the year is done.

                              So no brake rotors are included in the price correct? no matter what I'm in!

                              Any chance of a group buy special?
