    I had this kit. I no longer run it.
    You need the ECS Tuning adapter brackets to be able to mount the calipers. ECS does not sell them individually, only as part of their kit which includes everything you see there. Their price is like $1700 last time I checked...

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    So the only way to run this setup is to spend the money through ECS and get their kit?

    Figured I might be able to scoop this a little cheaper than listed and get the mounting hardware separate.

    Why don't you run it anymore, didn't like it?

    If you want everything w/o the headaches of trying to find the correct mounting hardware for your car then yes...

    I have this on my ZHP and absolutely love it....but then I'm not tracking my ZHP either. Perfect for street use if you ask me

    I can relate....for me it's a blend of performance and looks....of course there's a very fine line and I'm sure I'm on that line with both cars

    This kit is for an e9x. This will NOT fit our cars.

    ECSTuning kit consist of the following:

    BMW Performance calipers
    Custom ECSTuning caliper mounting brackets
    ECS stainless steel brake line. (Uncertain if this is the same length as a stock e46 line.
    BMW E36(I think) Brake sensor (e46 one is too short)
    BMW E46 325mmx20mm Performance rotors

    The rotors in the kit on CL is for an e9x and will not fit. If I recall they are at least 338mm and the hub will not bolt up.

    Good luck

    I forgot to mention I no longer use this setup either as I hated it for the track. It did not dissipate heat like I would've expect it to. Also the lack of increase in rotor size compared to stock really did not work well for HPDE I was attending.
