I have a big brake kit made by Ireland Engineering. It is this kit only with different calipers AP instead of WilWood.

The link doesnt seem to go directly to the item. Choose e3/e9 then brakes then the 2nd item from the top.
I have close to $2k into this kit. And will let it go for much less. I would like to get $1k for it.
Be for warned. This is not just a straight bolt on application. To bolt on and connect the calipers you have to do 1 of 2 things. Either plumb the existing lines into a T so you have only 1 line going to the calipers. (stock has 2 and I have the parts needed to do this). Or Change the master cylinder from a e28 with single lines. (This I dont have)
I had it hooked up with the lines T'ed. I found that their was to much braking going to the fronts and they were not balenced. Which was tearing up the pads and rotors.
To correct that would probably require a bias valve or going to the same calipers front and rear or both. It would be best to work with Ireland Eng with that.
I scraped the project because it became more than I wanted to do. My e9 isnt stock and I have already had to iron out a lot of modifications and I just didnt want to open another can of worms.
So having said all that if your up to the task you could get this part of it a lot cheaper than what Ireland sells it for.
So I have all this stuff in my garage gathering dust for the last year and would like to move it.
