I've had the kit on for years. I just replaced the discs.

It certianly stops though

Hmmm, tasty.

What size are the discs?

some specs and prices to go with the teasing pics perhaps?

The complete kit is supplied by a German company called Mov'it. They do kits to fit Porsche discs and calipers to a variety of different cars. The discs & calipers normally live on the front of a 993 twin turbo.

Way back when I got the kit (probably 6 or 7 years ago now), it was about £1700, so not cheap.

Ian.

Now they are proper brakes!!!!!!! If only they'd fit under my 16" schnitzers!!!!!

Just going to have a little searchy on the web for mov'it!!!!!

Bugger - looks like 322x32's are the smallest they do!!!!!

They won't fit under 16's - will they??????

You running 17's Ian???

I am running 17's, but they may fit under some 16's. The main problem is the position of the back of the spokes. You can't have a rim with any sort of dish (not even a little bit), or the caliper will foul on the spokes.

These brakes are the main reason for me running the BBS RC's, as the rim/spoke design gives a lot more clearance than most. They look nice as well though

Custom caliper mounting brackets, and custom mounting bells. Discs and calipers are straight from the Porsche parts bin.

Ian.

I luv the look of these

Very nice set up

probably the best setup i have seen on an E30. You got them on the rear too?

I like

No.

I did look into it, but the factory handbrake system does not work with the replacement discs. You would need to have a separate handbrake spot caliper to remain legal.

I did however upgrade to 280mm Z1 rear discs with E30 M3 calipers.

where did you get the 280mm z1 discs from. everywhere i see; they have 258mm rear discs?
