    If there are people interested in the brackets, I can make some more sets.
    Front rotor size will be: 324x30 for starters then maybe 334x32
    Rear rotors size will be: 328x20





    The race car will be a Euro 635csi Group A replica (replica with a turbo engine), full coil over, sway bar, cage, 4 pot calipers...

    sorry for the OT:
    just saw your coilovers, what is the brand? is there for the e34's? what shocks are used?

    thanks

    The suspension on the 635csi race car consists off:
    Full Ground Control setup. Advanced Design double adjustable shocks, Modified strut housing, Coil over front and rear, GC camber plates, GC rear shock mounts, 25mm/19mm adjustable sway bars, Adjustable front sway bar links, Sway bar mounts reinforced, adjustable trailing arm bushings, urethane race sub-frame bushings.

    You can get the ground control sleves and springs and use Bilstein shocks also, you need to modify and weld the housing though. I bought the car with the suspension already done. Dave did his.
    '85 Euro 635csi Race Turbo, megasquirt, Group A
    '92 525i Touring 5 speed, 3.46 diff, UUC 8.5lb flywheel, soon to be turbo.
    '02 Subaru WRX Wagon with STI springs, bigger sway bars

    Yeah I saw them, Nex. I already talked with a guy on bf.c and we came up with the same idea of cutting the strut housing and the bottom portion of that strut off. I am going to be doing that I think.
