Rally design offer a wilwood 4 pot kit with 280mm disks for 400 ish quid..

I was wondering if anyone had this fitted to their e30 and what the kit is like?

Any oppinions are welcome.

I looked at this kit a while back.
Its Ԛ£400+vat and from what I remember includes calipers, discs, pads and braided pipes. You do need to get a custom caliper mounting bracket made, unless Rally Design have started selling them now.

Still, for about Ԛ£500 it seems a good kit.

My opinion is: not worth it for a 318iS.

Id like to see em in action as i fancy "the ultimate braking system" one day. It might be worth it for an iS, depending how hard you slaughter it thru the bends lol, altho saying that the all round discs work a bit better than they do on the heavier 6 pots :tongue2:

I've got a Rally Design brake kit which i removed from my car as i was going to sell the car.
If you are interested you can have the kit complete with brackets but no hoses (just alter a pair of Goodridge), for Ԛ£250. The kit is in very good condition. The pads are cheaper to buy for the Wilwood caliper than the BMW one.
