porsche brake kits?

[510e36]

i saw one on a e36 m3 .
is theirs a custom mount that i have to buy to put them on. or is just a bolt on thing. please educate me on this.

Rotors are Porsche, calipers are Porsche, adapter is custom. No idea where you would get them. In fact all big brake kits use custom machined adapters to mount the calipers.

do they have the same lug fitment as a e36

Best to get something actually engineered for the car, unless you are doing carshows or something. Porsche weight distribution != M3 weight distribution

(the 911 at least)

Why not just paint your calipers red and write "Porsche" on them then?




I'm kidding, of course.

Oh right, they're red, so they have to work well.

Shhh. You're standing in the way of some former VW or Honda owner adamantly trying to screw up his car and/or kill himself in a horrendous accident. Just stand by and watch the carnage.

Yep. Just grab a used setup from the forums.

Im running a Porsche based kit here with Movit hats and brackets and I think you would be better off getting a Stop Tech kit due to better availablity of parts... Not saying you cant get Movit hats and brackets or fab up these but you will pay a premium getting these shipped from Europe and if you have Porsche Big Reds that havent been machined, they will have to be machined to utilize the Movit brackets... I bit the bullet and purchased new Movit hats and brackets but just that was close to $750 and with the price of Big Reds, rotors and pads, and ss lines you are easily looking at spending as much or even more than a Stop Tech ST 40 based kit...

BTW here is a pic of my car running Porsche 993tt based brakes... I couldnt do the red calipers so I had them stripped and ceramic coated silver...
