Default willwood e36 m3 brake kit

i have 3 pads, 2 calipers and 2 rotors, rotors are shot.
not looking for track, just better looks and better stopping power, and every now and then, some fun on the track.
if i get new brake pads what rotors can i use instead of what they sell? anything oem i can use? also, should i upgrade master cyl?

and is this kit a direct bolt on or do i need m3 hubs?

If the rotors are two piece, buy the rotor piece from wilwood, otherwise, look for an OEM disc that is close to the same spec as those. If its a kit for the m3, you need the m3 hub assembly for everything to bolt up. Did it come with brackets to mount to the hub, just calipers, or hub mounting calipers?

not sure, found them in my dads shop, they are the two peice, but im short on cash so ill try to match omething up and see if we have anythin around our shop i can use.
my dad said they pulled them off of a wrecked e36 m3 a while back, ill look to see if they had brackets or just mounting holes today.

also, im thinking 740 rotors may work, and we have 2 power disk 740 rotors so ill measure the willlwood today.
ill also figure out which kit it is and what rotors/pads i need and price them to see if they will be cheaper than what my dad said.

ok, e38 750il rotors are 13.15 inches according to etk, that means if i have the 13 inch rotor setup i may be able to use those, if its the 14 inch set up i dont think theres any thing other than their rotor i could use.

If you know how to make custom parts, just make a new bracket to accomodate w/e rotor you want to use.

If you dont use them and end up selling, i may buy them from you depending on price and specs. I currently have that OEM Brembo project going, but i may want a different style caliper.

I think with all the works they are telling you. You will probably just sell them. Let us know how much?
