| | So it's been a couple of days since my last update. I get a little bored with this site because it's so far behind where I actually am with this car. So I apologize. Where was I....... Ahh yes, Ordered the correct Wilwood pads for the front. They come with the notch to clear the caliper retaining rod. Reconciled the problem with the brake lines. you will need an adapter for the line to the caliper. I solved this by emailing Lee at Massive Brakes. He sent me a set of front brake lines with the adapters for the calipers. Perfect fit and the lines are of the highest quality. For anyone doing a brake conversion, don't buy your stainless steel lines until you have all your brake parts together. 
Plenty of clearance with the big wheelzz. 
For the rear I went with the VW disc conversion. You can search this conversion for the full how tos. I used 84 GTI calipers with the mechanical e-brake lever, cross drilled rotors (cheap) and mounting brackets from www.bmw2002.com. What I forgot to get was VW stainless steel brake lines. The set I had for the rear were female on both ends. The VW caliper accepts a male end. Like I said, wait. Also I had to have the rear hubs machined to fit inside the rotor.
