performance brakes

yes, i see, i was just looking at style 31 e39 wheels, they are 15" and are et20, so if i spaced that out that would mean the wheel would be in the same place if you know what i mean...

center bore adapters would be needed too...

Interesting!

If you are limited to stock size wheels, you're pretty much limited to stock size rotors. Get good high temperature brake fluid and work on better cooling.
Since I'm not limited that way, the car runs M3 front struts and brakes.

Its a rally car, i just want moer, its got 5.0 end ratio and 180 bhp now, its 150 miles a rally in one go, FLAT OUT!


I have ap600 fluid, and ds3000 pads front and 1155 mintex rears, i have abs that is amazing also. Just want more from the brakes, but maybe lightening the car is more the way to go, BUT i WANT bigger brakes LOL!

may have to buy a compotition wheel, which is ok,, but i need to find out which!

[bmw2101]

just having a read about the calipers now and i see this


bmw e36 m3 front = 60mm piston - single pot caliper 315 x 28 vent 28.27cm2
bmw e36 m3 rear = 40mm pistons - single pot caliper 312 x 20 vent 12.56cm2

bmw e36 318ti front = 54mm piston - single pot caliper 286 x 22 vent 22.90cm2
bmw e36 318ti rear = 36mm pistons - single pot caliper 276 x solid 10.17cm2

boxter rear = 28x30 4 pistons 13.21cm2

So how come your car dosnt lock up as soon as look at the barke pedal on the front?

[samdemange]

boxster : 28X2+30x2 = 24.6+28.2 =52.8 cm2 its equal strengh to a 26.4 cm2 single piston caliper

right got it,,.

now i found this

guy recond to get them under 17" you need to maching 12mm of the mounts, i cant workt hat out, as you have them under 16" and 300mm disks. Are the calipers they say about different or something?

[samdemange]

thoses adapters are for boxster S ( or 996 ) calipers they fit 28 mm discs
The part numbers for the calipers are 996.351.425 and 996.351.426.
the mount of mine are like those with 12mm machining and only for 22 mm discs
mine are 996.352.421 and 996.352.422
must do a home made adapter to fit in 16 rim

[bmw2101]

right aht is what i could not figure out !

thanks


do you know if your brakes will fit over these wheels

CLICK HERE

i can get these cheep here in 16"

[samdemange]

not easy to say yes when i dont known the ET of these rims
my kosei ( ET 35 ) fit perfectly
but with my OEM style 42 ( ET 46 ) i must put a 12 mm spacer to fit

[bmw2101]

I have now to pick up my bmw hubs with Porsche calipers with 300mm disks, that could have been much bigger, maybe 320 if there was a disk taht was 22mm in that size, and fits under factory default 15" bmw wheels

pics to follow.

[samdemange]

nothing in 320X22
328i e46 300X22
330i e46 325X25

[bmw2101]

yep i had to go for 300mm, but as i thought , E39 wheels are 27mm ofset compaired to the ti standard wheels, and in 15" so ill just go that way. Also, instead of adapter plate, we have cut the lugs off and put a 25mm bar in, and tapped it.

Not got them yet, but cant wait!
