The carriers do have markings on them but you would not be able to see what the markings were fitted on a scrap car.
I made the judgement that if I found a car being dismantled that had those parts fitted as standard then........... 'bingo'

Mega cheap!
Thanks! I had a quick look, already sold!!
Thanks for the replies mate. I've done the same, a lot of the cars that come up, once I call up requesting the part they've already sold. It's apparently a very popular mod with the old 3 Series too, the e36. The odd occasion they do have them they're asking in excess of £100. It's been mentioned a few times that they can be had for around £60. So looking at that sort of figure £60-80 ish.Toe-side wrote:For me I identified the models that shared the correct calipers and carriers and searched 'Breaking' and 'dismantling' of those models on the interweb. Searched a lot under 'E46' rather than 330

Why wouldn't you just buy them and before posting? If the calipers are trashed then you can use them as cores to trade in. If not then you have a bargain.kis wrote:Found a reasonable one! Link here. I'm going to see if he'll let it go for a bit cheaper tho!
Just bagged a set for £70 from a breaker I contacted over the weekend so all good!cj10jeeper wrote:Why wouldn't you just buy them and before posting?

Someone is likely to see the post and just buy them
Brilliant that you have got a setkis wrote:Just bagged a set for £70 from a breaker I contacted over the weekend so all good!cj10jeeper wrote:Why wouldn't you just buy them and before posting?

Also, I know some people are like that. However I'd like to think that since this is a forum, of fellow enthusiasts, I'm among friends.
Yes, finally!cj10jeeper wrote:Brilliant that you have got a set
In terms of 'trust' I agree and in general you are right, however at any time there are up to 500 guests on the site. There are 200 now as I post this .., so it's a wide audience
Fair point. I did think that "bolt on" 2 piece floating rotors and >5kg less unsprung mass for ~£200 was pretty good value, but yes - not cheap compared to the other options in this thread.cj10jeeper wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2017 8:54 am The whole purpose of this thread is for a cheap, easy direct swap and bolt on conversion.
Once you start to mix and match, add pads that don't fit, ///M parts it'sa different topic altogether.
