    750 Brake upgrade

    Im planning a 750 brake upgrade. If anyone has done this and rebuilt the calipers, where can i get a decently priced kit for the front and rear caliper rebuild?

    I found this one for the front on ebay...

    The UK one seems pretty good actually. I tried lookin up and down and most places don't offer the piston. For the seals and bushings it is a good buy.

    Also... If you need some calipers let me know I have a F/R kit i ended up not using.

    IMO I would never rebuild a caliper. Too much potential for later failure. Rebuilt calipers are relatively cheap, either loaded (with pads) or unloaded (no pads) I would also replace the flex hoses to the calipers.

    Some of the diesel E38s were equipped with Brembo brakes. Those would be awesome but sourcing rotors and pads for it might not be easy.

    Yes, gorgeous aren’t they. I may go that route on the next brake job. Having them powder coated to red as well. Would look great on Alpine White.

    Looking for an E38
    Did you rebuild your calipers and install them? What kind of rotors did you use?

    Also, I need a new key..cheers
