750i caliper brackets -GROUP BUY!

[eko]

I mean its only 1 mm apparently so could we not just run a mini grinder/dremel round it till it sits on the hub?

This needs to be spot on because its what locates the disc.

Fair and valid point

So we now have 9 names on the list,anyone else want to make up the numbers?
Remember we need a minimum of 10 to even think about getting the ball rolling

[SHAKEELE30]

Will this setup fit the m3 suspension, and how much is it going to cost etc etc?

Any pics etc... and why the 750???

Not sure about fitting to M3 suspension,Oz asked the same thing?
Heres a pic Ed put up of the comparison between the 750 and 325 caliper.

325 cailper next to 750.

11 names... i just need to know A) what size discs - is it the Audi TT ones? if so, cool, and, B) what kind of price are we looking at? the brackets on 300mm.de are about £100 am i right?

[eko]

Ant,is 11 enough to get us a guide price?

[stuartgallafant]

tony, can you just enlighten me a bit please mate?!

tony, can you just enlighten me a bit please mate?!

As to what?You basically know what i know
Plan was to get 10 minimum to go along with this to make it viable.

[lenny-d]

discs are 25 quid of ecp hope yous don't mind but sent an e-mail just to see how much they would charge for 12 sets of drilled and groved discs if anyone's interested

Sorry Stu.
Discs are Audi TT.
Only other bits required will obviously be calipers/pads from 750 and the brackets from Ant.Apart from the machining i think its as simple as that

£25 each?

[oze30]

Would ant be abvle to fab up some rear brackets too??

[lenny-d]

yeah 25 each and they only do a grooved set if you want were goin to do a deal at 50 for each disc if there were 10 sets bein bought

sorry for bailin but i just couldn't wait any longer

OK, will explore costing this up next week

10 sets minimum, no more dropouts plz guys..

TT 225, 540/750 calipers( E32/34) will still need to be sourced yourselves OK, ( easy !)

[oldroydsr4]

Any one got a part number for the disks, just wondering are they the 312mm ones on the GSF website

[oze30]

Does anyone know if these fit the e30 m3??? Or anything possible for the rears??

[stuartgallafant]

right, this looks like its all steam ahead, which makes my pants wet!!

i've got my E46 M3 front calipers, but i need some caliper carriers. i've been told the 750i ones will do. can anybody locate a set for me?

[oze30]

theres a guy in oxford breaking a 750. I can try and find out??

if you could, that would be brilliant. thank you very much oze

[SPADGE]

I don't know if this has been covered in this thread already but what is the weight difference between the original brake set-up and using these??? I 'm just concerned about unsprung weight and i bet you wouldn't get many of those 750 calipers in a quarter

the 750i calipers are a lot heavier than the E30 ones, as far as i know, but my E46 M3 ones are lighter!!

Sorry to sound thick but what effect will this have?

[oze30]

unsprung weight= the lighter the better. Hold a 2 l itre bottle of coke, (full and see how fast you can change direction or up/down motion.)

Then try it with a an empty bottle and you'll see how much easier it is to change.

Kinda something like that.

I have thought this too spadge. Think im just going to save for WMS ones as i've already saved a load of unsprung weight with alloy wishbones etc would be a shame to ruin it

Still an interesting read!

[ed325i]

A bit of weight will help keep the tyre on the road
Its the disc that adds to the weight.

[stuartgallafant]

...Its the disc that adds to the weight.

ed's right, its the reciprocating mass of the disc that you wanna be worried about, more than the weight of the caliper

Nice BUMP Stu

Ant any news yet?

[jeremy]

lenny

SO £25 each for grooved one's? also they came from audi TT, how big they are? 280mm? also how many studs 4-5? will they fit straight to e30? or need to be machined if so where it can be done? and how much
thanks
jeremy

[lenny-d]

no mate 25 quid each for std ones and 50 quid each for grooved ones

they do need machined but i don't know how muchie or where you would get it done, wouldn't be that much of a big job for an engineering place to do
