312mm Brembo Brake Adapters

[ajay]

Brackets also recived, look good. Many thanks

[craigieeb]

Just a thought..

I'm fitting my brembo 4 pots in a few days...

will the standard length brake hose still fit, (using goodridge, but its the same length as standard)
with plenty of "lock to lock" slack?
or will a longer brake hose be needed?

[padi]

Yeah should do. I spoke to someone on here, who said he'd run his with standard goodrich ones. Also have the same end fittings too.

What wheels are you running? This may pose more of a problem though...

Cheers Chris.

E38 728i Brembo's use the same M10x1.00 hose fitting as the stock sliding caliper
Stock hose is fine with a 302mm disk so I reckon the additional 5mm wouldn't be problem.
Best to trial fit and check the hoses at full lock with wheels fitted to make sure though.

I'm on 17's, but dont see how the wheel would cause an effect of the lock to lock,
as It's determined by the steering rack?

Thats wat I didnt want to do really, I just wanted to go outside, fit and drive,
cant be arsed with, bleeding the system twice,
plus the bleed nipples on the 2.5 ones dont look in the best of condition,

Thats why i wanted to know if anyone had used longer hoses or standard length on the 312mm



**EDIT**

Suppose i could just,
bolt up the brakes,
cable tie the goodridge hoses on to the flexi, right next to the connector,
turn lock to lock and see if there is any movement,

[padi]

Sorry, that wasn't very clear. Your wheel choice may pose mOre of q problem as the depth of the brembo caliper is quite large. So you'll need a wheel that has quite a thick hub section, or spacers. I want to run bbs rc on men, but will need almost 40mm spacers just to clear the calipers. You'll need roughly 20mm to get bk alpinas back on. Not sure on others though.

Hope that helps. Get some pics up. I've trial fitted mine a few times, but am yet to try them out fully.

Chris.

[craigieeb]

Ahhh right I got you mate..

I was going to put these 16's on that I have sat in my livingroom,



but on my first trial fit, I calculated/(guestimated)
I would need 25-30mm, poss more spacers, which is no good for me as they would stick out way to much,

so the're going back up for sale, and i'll be keeping the 17" E36 M3 replica's on for the time being,
as they fitted quite well,
well there was about half a mm gap between the calliper and the alloy,
i'll be using some 5mm spacers, to be on the safe side

[clarko74]

I was hoping that these might fit behind Hartge 16" wheels without having to use wide spacers but after a test fit I found that I would have to use 15-20mm spacers. I don't fancy this so am going to use E34 540 calipers instead.

My E38 Brembo's are for sale here: >>clicky<< if anyone's still after a pair. I also have a set of genuine bmw pads available too.

[padi]

Hi guys,
I was looking at running bbs style 5 wheels on my e30, but I'm going to need about 40mm spacers to ge them to clear the calipers. I was wondering what wheels you guys where all running these brakes behind?

Cheers Chris.

[craigieeb]

This might sound like a complete numpty question..
but i'll ask anyway...

which way should the bleed nipples be lol at the top of the caliper or the bottom??
or does it not make a difference

[DanThe]

At the top, air rises through the fluid innit

[craigieeb]

Damn, I forgot to delete that post before anyone seen it lol

I was having yet another blond moment/just woke up,



Tis All good tho, the brakes are working like they should


but have to say, i expected more tbh, I thought i would of been picking up my eyeballs up off the dash
Might ditch the ABS

[DanThe]

If you are still using the E30 master cylinder the pedal will be longer as the caliper pistons surface area is bigger.
Ideally you would have the rear calipers and master cylinder from the same car the front calipers came from

[craigieeb]

Yeah, i'll be upgrading the rears as a rule of thumb,
So might do the master cylinder at the same time,

But the front's dont seem that different compared to the "red dot" disc's and the red stuff pads I had on, might just need to break in a bit, we'll see

[adil325i]

Are these still available?

Want to upgrade my S50'd e30 on a budget..

Would appreciate feedback from the guys using Brembos - I have heard they arent as good as others out there...

Regards,

adil

[RoadHazard]

Are these okay to use in the M3?

[Sjoerd320i]

Will these also be ok to use e34 540 callipers?

I have 17"alpina reps (et 20) and if I use spacers they will stick out of the arches and that's not an option with the current lowering of the car.

[Jhonno]

Are these okay to use in the M3?

No, they won't work.

[padi]

329i turbo, if they are the 4 pot brembos you'll need spacers. I can't remember which calipers are which though. If it's the single pot ones, you should be ok.

Chris.

[Sjoerd320i]

Thanks!

The 540i ones are single pot so that should be ok then.
But will these adapters also fit the 540i calipers?

[cplagz]

I managed to fit these under 16x8 ROTA Slipstreams ET25

[craigieeb]

Any pics of these behind the wheels mate?
and did you use any spacers?

No pics at the moment mate, calipers are off getting a freshen up. I didn't use any spacers but with a 312mm rotor I wouldn't recommend running 16s. It is a little too close for comfort to the barrel, so I'm going up to 17" Compomotive MO5's. I had probably 2-3mm max clearance to barrel, to the spokes there was plenty.

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

Do you still have a pair of option2 available?

[padi]

Shaz, I've got a pair of option two along with the discs (ebc) adapted ready to bolt on. They've been tried on but that's as far as I've got. I've even got some Brembo 4 pots for this conversion and the braided lines from earls. Bought all the bits etc, but then changed my mind and will be switching to 5 stud. I haven't worked out a price yet but it will just be what they owe me.

If your still looking let me know.
Cheers Chris.

[McGoo]

will these go under 15's?

[craigieeb]

No

[padi]

Hi Guys,
I've got my complete kit up for sale, here
http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=221575
this is the option 2 adapters, Brembo 4 pots, green stuff pads, and EBC discs, already modified for a bolt on change. will come supplied with brand new earls brake lines.
Cost me over £450 to put the kit together, looking for £390.

Cheers Chris.

[kewliost]

So are these still available?? Would be very interested in a set

[Topblag]

Does anyone have any contact details for taxin - I'd like a set of these adaptors.

[uvels]

is they still avalible?

[satan16v]

I'll echo the above, I can get hold of the 312mm discs and E38 brembos so looking for adapters now and anything else I'll need

Anyone selling or can point me in the right direction?

[tomson]

Would anybody be interested in these adapters ?
I have this set up on one of my E30's and am going to have another set of adapters made up so could get several sets made if wanted?

[DanThe]

I have sets for 540i callipers available if needed
