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

It certianly stops though

[maxfield]

Hmmm, tasty.

What size are the discs?

[cliffybabe]

[fuzzy]

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

[glenn]

Not very exiting,

are you kidding or what?

[ian332isport]

What size are the discs?

322x32mm (big mo fo's)

[ian332isport]

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.

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!!!!!

[miniblob]

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

Shouldnt the phrase be 'stop it'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jhonno]

[old_skool]

Oooohhhh Yummy! They look really good up close.

Ian do you run these with brackets - I guess so, so obviously nothing off the shelf?

[d6dph]

Meh, Nowt exciting here.

All I see is a set of these and a set of these

[old_skool]

Shame on you. If we'd worked harder at school Dave, we would have had a set of these on our old E30s by now

[d6dph]

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

[Chase007]

I luv the look of these

[oguz327]

Very nice set up

[Onz]

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

[OBs]

I like

[ian332isport]

You got them on the rear too?

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.

[siddiqi1]
