e30 325 brake upgrade

[val m5]

No idea if this wood work, wood love some feed back from you guys, heres the thing, now rusty e34 535 up in shed, was victim of a burst rad pipe an gauage popping temp high.... but spent st loads on it before she went to the shed, was thinking of transplanting the e34 hubs an any other running gear onto a e30 325 track day car. e34 had some new discs tarox an big ebc pads on her , e30 has factory discs an pads, well any ideas??? or i am just fooling my self?

e34 540 calipers can be done with some adapter brackets, not sure about 535. Discs are a problem too cause the e34 is 5 stud and different pcd to the e30 - people generaly get audi or merc discs re-drilled instead IIRC.

Not heard about anyone transplanting the whole hub from e34 - only e36.

Do you guys know if a e30 rear 4 stud hub fits a e36 to replace the rear 5 stud hub
Thanks

Why would you want to replace the e36 hub with an e30 one? You can use Compact (e36) rear trailing arms/hubs for a 5 stud conversion.

OP - pretty sure e34 stuff is no use on an e30. Brakes are fine on an e30 unless it's making big power etc? Production race cars just run braided lines, race fluid and uprated pads.
