Small brake upgrade

[5mall5nail5]

Hey guys - working on a few different projects, what do you think?



This is the smaller of the two rotors I have sourced. Larger should come mid next week

[tonyroc14]

those aren't even big

[5mall5nail5]

Thats why its a small brake upgrade

[tonyroc14]

those are the rears right?

They look bigger than the stock fronts.

These are fronts, at 334mm. The other setup im waiting for is 348mm

[tonyroc14]

So, you have two diffrent set-ups then? I thought you had these rotors, and then were waiting for the other two to finish it up I really wanted to see a really really big rotor.

Sick! You never told me youre building a 747 Jumbo Jet race car

[PCP JR]

lovin' the blackberry-look caliper.

Meh.. Unless you're rocking something larger than a factory BMW part.. no care.


Lets see what you're using for calipers.. It has more to do with stopping power than the rotor size....

That's a nice coffee table you have there. Very modern.

Haha, they're nearly 14" man

Not revealing anything yet

I also have a rotor at 374mm but I would need to run 18's, which is not an option. (that's 14.7")

I am doing research by buying several different rotors to adapt to the E34. I am machining an adapter and using a 4 pot caliper

So far I have 334, 348, and 374mm. 374mm is basically out of the running though - way too big.

haha well im all ear...err eyes buddy

We all know you're going to need a parachute on the back to suppliment your brakes anyway


The TCD kit uses the 334mm rotors aswell.........

I know how big they are.. I was really just trying it give you a hard time. I've got a bunch of these things laying around to build a brake set but haven't done anything yet.. I have a couple idea's on calipers, but I need to actually look through some catalogs to find what Im really wanting.

Anxious to see what you use...

Better get that rotor off the Uba Tuba.

[5mall5nail5]

Uba tuba ftw!

[russiankid]

Eh...small.

Oh look one of those Tornado things that goes in your air box intake

[Grush]

Fack that shit man. I could cook a steak over those rotors! lol. I wanna see them mounted.

Which rims do you have?

[FaKingFastBMW]

sick coffee table!!!

Well right now I am on 15" Weld Racing wheels, but I have Rondell 72's in 17x8.5 and 17x10, so I will have to run those. I am probably going to keep stock rear brakes just so I can run the 15s

sick coffee table!!!

Thanks man

[93FIM5]

Hum just guessing, 348mm (E60 550i?), 374 (E60 M5 uses this diameter but yours arent cross drilled?). Either way looks like a good plan its what Ive been playing around with for a while just need to find a suitable caliper now. Good luck.

[atlfokus]

I was hoping for a parachute aswell

[5mall5nail5]

lol no chute
