So Mikey340 and I have been playing around with a new brake setup for my car. I was on the search for the CTS-V calipers for the front of the car when I came across a set of refurbished 6 piston calipers from a VW Toureg 2005
Here are my results. 1st let me say all the brackets are designed but not yet made the brackets I used to take the pictures were prototypes. (can't say how they were made but you can use them to stop)
Ok so 2005 745i front rotor 13.5" with a Brembo 6 piston caliper. my CCW's fit it's tight about .2" clearance on the front face but they fit. with the stock 18" there is a ton of clearance.
For the rear I had to cut the dust shield off. I had to trim the pads on the rear parking brake to fit in the rotor but it's the same rotor that is used on the front of the car the parking brake fits inside the rotor and "should" still work. LOL I haven't had a chance to test it on the street but I have no reason to believe it wont work. These are the calipers from a 2004 CTS-V
The CCW's fit on here fine. I didn't try the stock 18 but I don't see any reason why it won't I don't have to run any spacer behind the wheel. the only thing that is needed on the front and the rear of the car is hub rings on the rotors becuase the BMW rotors have a larger diameter.
Not a bad upgrade ont he cheap basically a Big brake kit front and rear for under $1000 if you can find a deal on the calipers.
My plan is to work with Westcoast and have the brackets avalable for purchase from the websight if there is any interest. If there is no interest at least I have a cool set up.
