750i Brembo calipers onto an E30 - Possible?

[Silverfang]

As above, friend of mine has a pair of good condition 750i calipers (4 pot Brembos) and was curious if it was possible to retro fit them to an E30 setup with ABS?

Too much hassle, or viable?

Anything is possible : )

Iv got them fitted to mine

Do they bolt straight up? or require a mounting bracket mod?
Which master cylinder did you use along with discs from which car?

Just read the thread Does look good but theres info that it doesn't have.

They don't bolt straight up you will need an adaptor ...

I have just used the standard master cylinder, but im also using a servo from a clio, because of the M52 2.8 conversion I have

disc wise I'm using these...

or you can use TT disc's and have them modified, centre bore taken out 1mm, then
re-drilled to 4x100

Craig, do those 312mm vw fit without any modifying?

[craigieeb]

Yep, straight fit matey, tbh their not bad discs

Thats awesome
So I suppose all needed is some calipers, custom bracket and those discs which fit straight on.

Is the centre bore on those discs suitable for e30 then ?

[craigieeb]

Yes
Yes
And
Yes

Those discs have already had the center bore milled out,
So they just slot straight on

Hi I just read on the ad that those discs are 65mm
Isn't the e30 hub 66mm?

[craigieeb]

Ahhh yeah it's all coming flooding back now,
I asked them to open the bore by 1mm
