CAtuned E28 Build

[catuned]

What did you use to coat the calipers? POR-15? Coming along very nicely but thats expected from you guys.

Yes and came out very nice. And thank you!

Excited to see this one as with everything you guys have built!

Are you going to highlight the ///M logos on the calipers?

**** Also wanted to share some interesting stuff.
If you have a E28 and you want bigger better brakes in the Front with out spending $1800 on a BBK kit.
You can Get E36 M3 front Calipers with brackets(Or E34 M5 calipers with brackets but E34 M5 units do not have the //M on them).

The Setup:
1) The driver side E36 M3 Caliper with bracket bolts up on the passenger side.
2) The passenger side E36 M3 Caliper with bracket bolts up on the driver side.
It is a direct fit.
3) For rotors use the E34 M5 Rotors they are floating and 315MM. You can't use 15" rims with this tho.

No ways I have never heard of this before. Can I just clarify when you say brackets you mean the carrier brackets?

Do they bolt on without modification like e34 and e34 m5 Calipers?

Lastly are euro m3 calipers and USA m3 calipers the same or does this only apply to USA? We got euro m3's in my country so would look to fit those. For me this is way easier and cheaper than finding an e34 m5 set!

S54 FTW!

No modifications at all.
Have pictures of them on the car and about to post them.
Have driven on this brake setup now about 60K or almost 100 miles and I love how balanced this combo is for brakes.

You can check www.realoem.com and see if euro is the same as usa. I imagine should be on e36. Very little was different. The only thing is euro M5 rotors are bigger diameter. I am running 315mm. Perfect fit. We also stock them if you need them. Will ship anywhere.

Friday was very busy & left before I could edit the pics and do a proper update.
The car was finished up with phase 1 of the rebuild.

1st with the rear end assembly & brakes:

[catuned]

We love wheel studs & Only use Motorsport Hardware.
We started out using 68MM stud nose. But they ended up being too long as the BBS cap would not close.

[catuned]

So luckily we had the none stud nose 58mm studs.
And those have the same amount of threads but are shorter so the cap can close.
We are not using any spacers so this works perfect.















You can also see the rear brake rotors compliment the bbs wheels well. It fills it well.
P.S. We love Redbull (Please send us pallets of this stuff)

[catuned]

Have a few wheel sets in the shop decided to see how well these ACS fit and look.
Rely nice actually will have to change things out at some point.
