this is a very expensive job boys (i know its not a cossie) i fitted a set of MK1 RS brembo
front brakes to my ST170 a couple of years ago thinking this would be a straight swap
fuck me not so lol i had to have brackets made (Ł150 the pair) had to have a grove shaved
out of each calliper (Ł80.00) then grind the bottom ball joints to stop the discs from rubbing
on them by the time i had bought all the brakes and every thing else cost me just over a grand

Did BMW brembos here to on 2wd but think its a no go on 4x4 due to offsets, just what I heard...

Is it possible to use some 330 mm AP or HiSpec discs on a 4x4 in combination with FRS or E38, or whatever fancy calipers?
