E46 Porsche brake upgrade.
Discussion
Wandering if anyone's done the above upgrade on a 330i before. The one using Porsche Boxer front 4 pots.
I know of the kit from Creation Motorsport, and the part numbers needed for the calipers, being the following:
http://www.creationsmotorsport.com/product-detail....
> 996.351.425
> 996.351.426
> Calipers have to have 12mm shaved off the mounting lugs to get them to work with Stock M3 discs or left untouched with the CSL discs.
The question I'm needing answering is what happens with regards to the brake line itself? The car has already got stainless steel lines installed, so do i need an brake line adaptor or does it screw straight into the caliper without issue?
The other question is, given prices, what would be a good price for 6-7 month old front calipers from a 330i with DS2500 pads with about 50% pad left? I know they're a good upgrade for E36 / E46 owners with lower spec cars.

I would be interested in the used calipers I know of the kit from Creation Motorsport, and the part numbers needed for the calipers, being the following:
