Why are you not using them when going to the track?

 

[Brian H]

Two reasons really.

1st reason is that the kingpins on non ///M cars are different to ///Ms, I would need 12mm spacers to allow the calipers to clear the wheels.

2nd reason is that the non ///M cars have smaller brake master cylinders, the brake bias would move to the rear too much, did not fancy changing this over. Too much of an unknown.

I read all I could about these before I bought them but there is little information about fitting bigger brakes to a 3.0 Z3, I thought I would be ok so took a punt. Just did not work out.

there is only so much info you can gather.
sometimes you have to bite the bullet and jump from the cliff.

you win some, you loose some.

now you could fit other master cyl.
I've had Tilton calculate mine to fit on the cobra (without surcharge)
