Need to identify brake caliper`s. Solved.

Post by Lars-Nord »

This is the brakes that I have on my Alpina. They are bolt on and fits in the 15 inch Alpina wheel. I just need your help to find out what they are.

This I think is the E36 rear brakes. Looks the same.

Yep looks like E36 rears indeed, but the fronts have me puzzled. Close to E34 and E36, but not all the way. Perhaps from a different brand of car even?!

Rear discs from the E30 are the same as the rear discs from an E21 323i.

It`s 4 on the rear. And "homemade 4 hole" on the front.

Front caliper from Omega 3000 is the same brake caliper that http://www.pink-opel.de has as their 420hk calipers vith Tüv papers ;-)

I always thought that opel brakes should work, I even think dat the kadett gsi' ones will fit without modifications
I took the corner at high speed, came in the ditch, drove straight through a garden, flipped over 4 times and then I lost control of my steering-wheel!
