Calipers are Brembo's from a 1998 E38 728i
Pad fitment is the same as Nissan Skyline R33 and R34 models
So plenty of choice regarding pad compound
e.g Mintex/Pagid/Carbon Lorraine/EBC etc etc

Disks are 302x28 mm from a Chrysler Voyager wth the mounting bell re-drilled to suit the BMW wheel bolt pattern

Works really well

Other pics available if required
