bigger brakes, tt discs, 750i calipers

[midnight]

basically guys i hear u can use this combination to fit on an e30 but what about the mounting bracket i heard u have to get one made up, is this right, if so how would i go about getting it done.
and how good is this set up?
cheers

[siddiqi1]

I wonder what the costs are too!

Will these fit under OE BBS alloys?

[DRIFTBOY]

I've got most of the parts to do this conversion now too, hopefully a few weeks and it'll be done.

You can either get the brackets made, here's a template: -



Or you can get them from http://www.300mm.de/new/

Not cheap though.

I'm going to enquire at a local engineering company when I get the chance.

[midnight]

are the brackets for salee on 30mm.de for the m5 brakes or the 750i ones? plus i cant understand a think on that site is there anyway of putting it into english?

what material are you going to get the brackets made out of?

[Templ8e30]

I made mine out of 15mm thick steel, no special grade.

So what discs are these for?

[ed325i]

Audi TT discs modded to fit.
750/740/540 cailpers.
Brackets.

[ed325i]

Will these fit under OE BBS alloys?

No they will not.

[pilt]

Will these fit under OE BBS alloys?

No they will not.

Are 16" wheels ok?

How do the discs need to be modded?

[Martinaston]

You need 1mm taken out the centre i think, so they fit over the hub.

Templ8e30, how have you treated the brackets to stop them rusting ?

[George_Of_The_Jungle]

15mm steel? bit of overkill isnt it?

[Martinaston]

oh, and drilled to the 4 bolt pattern

[pilt]

Looking on the E30.de looks like these probably need 17" wheels for the 312mm TT discs?

ANyone running this with 16"?

[Martinaston]

The Audi A4 1.8 turbo 280mm disc's fit under the 15" BBS (not the Quatro ones)

[Ant]

the 312 and 750 caliper combo can be squeezed under a 16" Borbet B, you'll need to grind all the casting flash from the 750 caliper, no real issue

only leaves 3mm running clearance, so make sure the wheelbearings are good ( Kevin no worries there lol ! )

theses are all the brakes you'll need on an E30, tested in anger with 350+ HP , no issues

Make sure the ABS works, locked fronts @ 100+ is not good, and they will lock !!

[pilt]

the 312 and 750 caliper combo can be squeezed under a 16" Borbet B

What about Borbet C's? Are they a similar internal size?

Cheers

[maggspower]

what about 16" alpinas any one tried them with the 750 calipers and 312 discs?

[benjy]

What'll fit under 15" BBS then?

[topspark]

What'll fit under 15" BBS then?

Yeh , same question from me .

What are the max size discs and calipers you can get under the BBS's??

I'd like to know too...

[DaveD]

285mm

[George_Of_The_Jungle]

how much do the 750 calipers cost???

[Templ8e30]

Templ8e30, how have you treated the brackets to stop them rusting ?

I painted them with some stuff from work called Galvafroid, basicly a zinc paint. Works very well on the steel brackets I put outside 7 years ago, still look new.

I paid £100 from a BMW breaker for my E34 3.6l M5 single pot calipers (complete with cast in ///M logo's ), was disappointed when they turned up though as they were fooked, needed a complete rebuild.

Cheers,

[agreen]

as dave says 285mm is the very biggest that will fit under 15" bss wheels

other 15" wheels well thats a diffrent story

for 15" wheels maybe go for wms i think or do a proper job and go high spec big brake kit lol in red to - - - -

[Aziz]

I got a pair of E38 735i Brembo disc £54.00
A Pair of TT disc Cross Drilled disc £109.00 + £10 for increasing bore by 1mm and redrilling the wheel lug holes.

I need to design a bracket and get it fab'd in between doing the gearbox and selector shaft seals changing the ECU and running my own business.

Where does my time go!!!!!!

[midnight]

ant have u got a bracket handy as a template to bring to a machine shop and say make this....

[Andy335Touring]

Guys,

Here is a good thread on the 750i brake conversion:

[Juriic]

Hello!

Does Alpina 7x16 rims fit with E38 Brembo 4-pot aluminium calipers with S3/TT rotors 312x25 mm or no way?

Tnx in advance!

[alexbaby88]

I decided to go with a BBK from Massivebrakes.com. Top notch stuff.
