Would really appreciate some help with this project. The 19's going on my MC are quite open-spoked so am concerned the stock brake discs are going to look a bit on the weedy side.
Can't really justify the £3,000 or so it would cost to do BBK's front and rear, and I don't need the perfomance of 4 or 6 pots as it's unlikely I'll ever track the MC.
So am thinking of fitting the larger diameter E46 CSL discs (345mm front, 328mm rear compared to MC sizes of 315 and 312) to fill out the wheels - and I'm certainly not averse to how good the CSL cross drilled discs look. Any perfomance gain would be a bonus.
From reading the thread below (great write-up, thank you Chippy)

it sounds like the CSL discs will fit the hub, will work with my OEM calipers, and all I need is a spacer bracket to push the calipers out.
My question is - any idea of the costs to get a bracket like this made?
Is it comparable to having the radial lug mount made up from scratch, and from reading Steve and Chippy's comments, this is prohibitively expensive unless you can find a ready made one - like MBT in Germany do for the 996/7 caliper fitments.
Am a bit disadvantaged figuring this out as can't look at my Coupe (it's back in NZ and I'm here etc). Any idea if the KWv3's I have will foul any spacer bracket assembly that I use?
