Me and two friends of mine started a team called Magnus Racing a few years ago, now it's time to make it more official. We lived in the same city in Finland and we still have our garages down there. Everyone has their own car to build, aim is to go faster without looking bad.
Fitted them to my friend's car which has 325mm discs with Wilwood Superlite calipers, needed 15mm spacer to fit. I'm planning to buy same discs (E46 M3) and Cayenne/Touareg 6-piston calipers in front. There won't be too much space:
I had to make more room for the rear axle as it didn't fit as high as I wanted, next step is to modify body beams if that's not enough. Otherwise there would be problems with trailing arm and output shaft angles with desired drive height.
Today postman brought this quick release/snap off hub for steering wheel, it would have been very hard to climb in and out of the car when the rollcage is finished with the door X-brace.
Now I'm waiting my custom K-Sport coilover kit, it's based on the Circuit -model, but customized at the factory to my needs. Front coilovers are E36 M3 type and rears E34 type which are a lot shorter than E36 or E30 shock. They should arrive soon..
I need to design topmounts to the front with 4-bolt fastening, which allows me to make caster adjustment into the chassis. Also rear end topmounts need a little bit of modifying, thinking of spherical bearing instead of solid mounting.
Now I got all the parts to finish the rollcage, lot's of work on the way!
Almost there.. Axle is now 5cm higher than orginal mounts would allow, that should (must) be enough. Only need to cover the holes with sheet metal, piece of cake
I have found out that a 1 Series 135i 6 piston caliper, will bolt upto a e36 m3 spindle with a small spacer to center it on the rotor, I used an e46 330i rotor with it on my e30 project.

Yes I've also heard about that, but those seem to be pretty rare and expensive, way more expensive what I paid of my set of Porsche calipers Well, still could keep on looking if someone is selling BMW ones cheap, I've got things to do before fitting the brakes..
mistäpäin sä oot?
Guess does the caliper fit with the E36 king pin? Nope, needs "a little" modification too
