    Group Buy e36 Secondary Drift Caliper Bracket

    Well I am in love with my 2nd caliper thanks to lee@masssivebrakes.com and I'm sure you guys would love one too!

    iirc. i paid around ~185$ for the e30 brackets so expect the e36 to be around the same

    10 set would be the minimum production/orders.

    non-///M e36 and e46 would be the same
    e36 M3 have bigger and thicker discs

    so lets start a list and if it reaches 10 then Lee can get to work!

    again, there are no brackets available yet, Lee will develop/produce them once the list reaches 10

    the e30 bracket is already made, the z3 doesn't quite have the following but I'll add another list and if you can get 10 people then theres no reason not to!

    Bleeding is effortless, its an entirely separate system so just a couple pumps by hand or use a pressure bleeder

    What about a rad-tacular version that doesn't require pulling the rear hubs to install?

    I hate pulling the hubs in back.

    Also the bleeder should really be at the top of the caliper, whichever way it's facing. I guess you can just remove the caliper and bleed it upright though.

    only way to do a bolt on for the e30 was to have the hub removed, with the proper tool this is a 20 minutes job, more if you are replacing the bearing


    bleeding requires rotating the caliper upwards on the e30 due, once again, to packaging

    there is no e36 setup yet, thats the purpose of this, if 10 people commit then the brackets will be made and developed

    Allows you to run a separate pad compound for the ebrake, isolated system so if you have a failure you still have one set of brakes, does not pulse or lockup if you're on the ebrake and the pedals at the same time. Also if any of you plan on running FD eventually you either have to have mechanical or a separate isolated hydraulic system.
