New 325mm rotors on my E85

[Jembo]

Thanks to Phil the pioneer & Steve the guide, as tomorrow, God willing, my Zed is being fitted out with some 330 E46 stopping power. Sourced some new Meyler Platinum discs, the E46 carriers are like gold dust to find... though not for my Indy... Inclusive

Roll on tomorrow evening

Real pleased to hear you found all the bits.

How come the calipers didn't come with the carriers?? :?

Great news Jem - can't wait to see them

Seems both for Zeds & E46's, it's a very popular upgrade & well documented un YouTube. Thre's plenty of calipers on eBay, no 330 E46's in many of the scrap yards I called & those that did already had these bits missing.

Getting calipers sprayed black, as I think red on a blue car will be a bit much... 6 hours to go...

Let us know how you get on

 

[Jembo]

Awwww... almost there

Just the tracking & full camber adjustment to go...

... And they seem to come with the carriers too? Ebay that is.
I just find it strange that whoever you bought the calipers from they didn't give the carriers with them as it's pointless not to.

Fortunately my Indy sourced both...

This was taken a short while ago,,,

Decided not to go drilled & grooved, as felt then my insurers might notice if I ever had to claim. Otherwise just completing a full tracking & camber adjustment, looking good, so once all clean will have some nice pickies of my two tone 108's with big fat mamma boobies inside

Roll on 30 min

Nice mod

... only just finished playing & they're all nicely bedded in. Would recommend this upgrade from 300mm to 325mm, surprising how much that additional 25mm helps take off speed - pickies taken by my daughter tonight after a little roofless cruzin

Looks excellent! Which parts did you need (preferably with part numbers)?

This is the thread you need, but basically you need the calipers & carriers off a 330 E46 (diesel or petrol)

These are the discs & pads I sourced. I prefer Red Stuff pads, but at this price the Mintex have been working just fine.
