E30 Zone

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

I wonder what the costs are too!

Will these fit under OE BBS alloys?

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.

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?

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

So what discs are these for?

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

Will these fit under OE BBS alloys?

No they will not.

Are 16" wheels ok?

How do the discs need to be modded?

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 ?

15mm steel? bit of overkill isnt it?

oh, and drilled to the 4 bolt pattern

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

ANyone running this with 16"?

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

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 !!

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

Cheers

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

What'll fit under 15" BBS then?

I'd like to know too...

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.

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 - - - -

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!!!!!!

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

Cheers Mr Green can I interest you in a Pair or 2

I'm going to try this soon with some 16"x7.5" Azev A's, fingers crossed !

im guesing by my avatar the answer will be no

Guys,

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

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... ht=wilwood

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!

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