Nothing wrong with that. Believe me, I know what you mean. The ZHP is the only car I've really left alone. All the rest of my cars were modded and then modded some more.Originally Posted by TRELO

So....diameter is the same....thickness is 3mm thicker on the ///M3 brakes.

So here's the skinny on M3 brakes and non-M3 cars. I did a significant amount of research on this because I really really wanted to run some M3 calipers (all because of that sexy ///M logo on the calipers)
M3 calipers won't fit the front of non-m3 unless you get new carriers and drill/punch new holes in them. The rears won't fit at all due to the M3's rear end being so different from non-m3's.
So basically you can run the fronts but your running on modded carriers and really risking it. This right here is why I finally said I won't do it and just went with a set of brake your self rotors on stock caliper/carriers.
I really have no idea what I am doing

In order to get the rears to work, you will need a complete rearend from an M3. Since the overall diameter and thickness is so close to ours, you would be better off doing a BBK upgrade.
