Are you still selling the 996 caliper brackets for e28. Contemplating upgrading brakes on my track car. I run 17in wheels, did you find a solution that doesn't require caliper mounting milling?

Its an old thread but I thought I might mention. In MHO is to use the E31 brembo calipers they are very light and Get a pair of E34 M5 Euro front rotors 345MM and trim them down on a rotary lathe to 324MM and they will work great on the track having the Exculsive M rotor with the pinned Hub and directional cooling fins. Good used calipers are about $700-800 and rotors new $500. Machine work $200.00 plus E31 pads $275.00. Ok 1,800.00 isnt cheap! but these are as good as the $3,500. sets from some of the good shops.
