from 4 pots M setup to 6 pots..

Belong · 10-08-2021, 08:31 PM

Just dropped my Panamera calipers of at the CNC guy for a set of custom brackets to fit them to my 380mm ///M setup... i never liked the look of the front 4 pots..

I would have gone for the 400x36 disc but there is really no more room left in my 20" MB design KV1 wheels.. calipers are a whopping 36cm in length

As soon as i get the brackets back , calipers are going in for paint and then ill post some more pics..

Kudos. Honestly took a look at a bunch of these but getting someone to cnc a bracket is scary lol. I spent a good few weeks researching 350-380mm 6piston radial calipers from different cars. Even watch a series where someone details how to get all the correct measurements to make a custom brake adapter and then print with a 3d printer etc. Only had enough guts for powdercoating

.

This will be a nice setup. I really wish someone made a bracket for the 17z/18z though. Those are so cheap to find.

Looks amazing. Have you considered a set of LCI 2 Headlights?

Z17/Z18 need to be completely machined ( ears machined off ) and caliper needs to be drilled... so no go!!!!

CNCing a bracket is easy, not really higher science

If i were you id search for a set of F10 M5 calipers, they can go very nicely with a 380 disc... i had those 6 pots before on my e60 m5 with 400x36 , but now i wanted a bigger caliper

My front setup is coming up for sale when i fit the new ones..

thx .. nah im quite happy with the LEDs i have now...

Belong · 10-16-2021, 08:11 AM

Calipers had to be machined very minimal...

Bracket is done..

Next week calipers of to paintshop en then its fitting time... will be a very very very tight fit with the MB KV1 wheels and i mean a very tight fit.

Logicoeur · 10-16-2021, 04:30 PM

That looks great. You should spring the extra money for some lightweight rotors.

For me its just for aesthestics, car is still only used as a daily grocery getter... i just cant stand the ugly 4 pots on the m3/m4...

Everything is ready... tomorrow calipers of to the paintshop.. and hopefully will fit them this Friday... update next week......

Have you had to use a different MC for these larger calipers? The piston surface area has to be significantly larger now.

No need to , pistons are not bigger then the 6 pots bmw comp calipers and my friend runs those with 400x36 without any single problem on a 335D F31

Belong · 10-18-2021, 05:46 PM

Calipers are painted... will install this Friday or Saturday...

Pussiwillow · 10-18-2021, 06:48 PM

What had to be machined off the calipers and can sets of brackets be made to buy?

frchdragon · 10-18-2021, 07:19 PM

This is pretty impressive, will the master cylinder on the car be large enough to accommodate the new calipers or do you have much smaller pistons on them.

Quite some time went into this, and i wont be making more brackets sorry.
I even had to shave of the 4 notches that are on the caliper which gave me another 5mm of room, since the wheels i have do not very well accommodate a bbk, in my 19" 437 wheelsetup i could have easily gone for the 400mm option.

That is no option with the MB KV1 wheels, so even now fitment will be very tight!

They are nothing bigger then the F10 M5 6 pots pistonwise and my friend runs that setup with 400x36 without any problems or shitty brakepedalfeel.. so that shouldnt be a single problem..

Ill update over the weekend..

Nice project. Thanks for posting details and photos.

FYI- I recall when researching BremboGT's that for wheel fitment over calipers, Brembo had a certain minimum distance that they recommended between caliper and the barrel of the wheel. It had to do with road debris not being trapped in too small of a space and potentially doing damage. I don't recall the number though.

Ive had that soo many times on my supercharged E46 M3 with my 390x36 discs with Lambo LP640 6 pots... small stones came stuck between caliper and wheel... cause scratches on the inside of the wheel

These babies have some bite. Drove some S model 992 carreras, panameras and macan s on a roval track today for a Porsche driving experience event. You will be able to stop that wagon on a dime.

If one has wheels with good clearance, and these mounts, are there any other sticking points for getting them to fit? It would be cool if the cad was shared then

Bigger brakes don't stop cars faster.

Why would you not share the STEP file?

So im paying for the R&D to get this done and then just share the step file? nah thx...
