I just got a set for ti trailing arms for my e30, and they did not include calipers. Are there any bolt on substitues or upgrades?

I already have several caliper sets from various parts cars. e36 325 and M3 rears and e30 318 and 325 rears. Will any of these fit? I'd rather not have to go and buy more brake parts!

hmmmm ... pretty sure the e36 32x series (and thus m3) will NOT fit (as i was sent a set by accident). i'm not sure on the e30 ones, but you should be able to check part numbers via www.realoem.com to see if any of them match up. or, likely easier, check the part number for the calipers on the 318ti to see if they match up to any other bmw model. awww heck, i'll check ... hold on.

here's the relevant diagram and part number list ...

now let's see if it matches up to any other car ...
looks like the are specific to e36 compacts:

Nothing larger than the stock ti rears will fit. I don't know if e30 rear calipers fit. For us ti folk, we really only have one way to get big brakes in the rear, and that's by swapping M coupe/roadster trailing arms. Rui Azevedo of http://www.azevedomotorsports.com has Brembo Lotus calipers on the rear of his swapped ti, but he machined his own billet carriers. I asked him about it and he wanted $500 to machine another pair.

I met a guy today who has a stockpile of stock z3 stuff including rear calipers, if you want I can get you his contact info. I just picked up some stock suspension stuff on the cheap for my wife's car.
