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? __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 02-07-2009, 02:33 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: New Orleans Posts: 970 | 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. __________________ ^being rebuilt^ until then: daily car: 96' Blue DASC'd ti with koni coilovers slowly progressing... weekend car: 85 1/2' 944 Porsche no a/c, p/s, gutted cat, loud as hell exhaust, loud as hell sound system | | | 02-07-2009, 03:12 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: New Orleans Posts: 970 | 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. __________________ ^being rebuilt^ until then: daily car: 96' Blue DASC'd ti with koni coilovers slowly progressing... weekend car: 85 1/2' 944 Porsche no a/c, p/s, gutted cat, loud as hell exhaust, loud as hell sound system | | | 02-07-2009, 03:29 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: New Orleans Posts: 970 | just found out their AP racing, thought they were wilwood, so does that change anything? __________________ ^being rebuilt^ until then: daily car: 96' Blue DASC'd ti with koni coilovers slowly progressing... weekend car: 85 1/2' 944 Porsche no a/c, p/s, gutted cat, loud as hell exhaust, loud as hell sound system | | | 02-07-2009, 03:29 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | If you know how to make custom parts, just make a new bracket to accomodate w/e rotor you want to use. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 02-07-2009, 03:30 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | Just get some pics and collect all the parts, thatll give a good idea as to what to do. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 02-08-2009, 06:05 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: New Orleans Posts: 970 | ok, if i end up not using them theyll probly be up for sale in the condition their in right now __________________ ^being rebuilt^ until then: daily car: 96' Blue DASC'd ti with koni coilovers slowly progressing... weekend car: 85 1/2' 944 Porsche no a/c, p/s, gutted cat, loud as hell exhaust, loud as hell sound system | | | 02-08-2009, 09:51 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | 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. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 02-10-2009, 01:44 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: New Orleans Posts: 970 | ok, ill let you know, i found a buncha different manufacturers for pads all with part numbers, but i still need to look up rotors and see my options for those __________________ ^being rebuilt^ until then: daily car: 96' Blue DASC'd ti with koni coilovers slowly progressing... weekend car: 85 1/2' 944 Porsche no a/c, p/s, gutted cat, loud as hell exhaust, loud as hell sound system | | | 03-20-2009, 03:01 AM | #11 | Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: USA Posts: 40 | I think with all the works they are telling you.
