Using a 4 lug with stock rotors so the old BMW front caliper trick is good enough for this. Planed on AutoZone level rebuilt units and then have them machined locally. Just throwing it out here to see if anyone has some in newish condition that they just don't want or need. Wanting to do something rather quickly to make a running project easily movable(no calipers on it now).

If no one has any available I would appreciate any knowledge/advice/other-better recommendations or getting a machine shop to do this way correctly. ty!
(also I cant remember exactly which ones, 197?-198? 3 series bmw?)

Maybe the small/cheap brembo calipers is being used on 4lug/solid rotor now,??? advice?
