FOR SALE Brembo 4-pot calipers from Porsche 996 to fit Z4M

[mmm-five]

[NOT MINE]

Seems a cheap upgrade route to me, especially if you're wanting a custom paint job on them

£300

[E46] - Full set of 996 calipers and pads, blasted and machined for an E46 M3 or Z4M

These were for a car I ended up selling. A full set of Porsche 996 calipers that have been blasted to bring them back to bare metal, and the appropriate machining (5.5mm off the front caliper mounting boss) done to make them ready for fitting. I also have a service kit with new pistons, seals...

Good route to go down, I did the same with Boxster calipers on my Yeti.

For what it's worth, I found creation motorsports pretty difficult to deal with in terms of working out which brackets and brake lines would be required, whereas Vagbremtechnic were brilliant and very helpful. Not sure if Vagbrem do the bits for BMWs though.

£300 seems a great deal with all the bleed nipples etc fresh and not stuck in the calipers, and pads included. Even more so having been taken back to metal - even if you don't want to choose your colour, 99% of these on ebay will be tatty as anything so you'll want to repaint regardless.

Suspect you would need to also buy Porsche to BMW brake lines too, but they're only about £60 from HEL.

Big question though - do you put Porsche logos on the brake calipers or not?!

That's a great spot and a good buy for someone.

Vagbremtechnic do a kit for the DB9 / TTRS brembos but not the 996 ones, as far as I know. They're great to deal with, yup.

Mine just say "Brembo"...or they did when I last saw the car, back in the mists of time.
