    I found the conversion kit last week but not sure what company was selling it now, AutoFAB can tell more about it and i'm sure they can order it.

    It has the IE big brake kit.

    This kit is intended for cars with 16" wheels. Available for the 318/325 and the M3 please specify. It uses a PBR aluminum 2 piston floating caliper. The large pads are the same as used by the Mustang Cobra. Rotors are 2 piece with aluminum center (hat) measuring 310mm x 20mm with gas slots. Kit includes calipers, rotors, pads, brackets, hardware, and stainless steel braided hoses. These brakes are very effective and reduce unsprung weight. I prefer floating calipers for the E30 cars because they require less room between the wheel spokes and the rotor so are not as likely to require spacers. Also pads size is larger than similar kits with 4 piston calipers. Kit is also available with 28mm wide rotor at $95 additional cost. We also offer a rear kit for the E30's to go with our front kits. The front kit will set you back about $1200.

    Let me know if you want one, just give us a call!
