Front left e21 vented rotor caliper

[Nashstey]

How it going I’m gathering parts for my neue klasse and and looking for an e21 front left vented rotor caliper. I’m located in San José, CA zip 95125

 

I only have the front right caliper so I need the left.

What year is your car?  That doesn't look like the correct caliper unless your car is older and only has 2 pistons per caliper.  For most '02s (I think '68 and later) you want the 4 piston calipers.  Best deal in town is from Rock Auto.  Look for 70s and 80s Volvo 242 front calipers for vented rotors.

 

Oh, just noticed that you said Neu Klasse.  Not sure about what is needed there.  You can probably ignore what I said above.

Correct they are not correct for 2002 or nk however they work as long as you have e21 hubs, rotors and pads to go along with them. Main advantage is a slightly bigger rotor and also the vented rotor design! I like this setup also because they fit with most 13” steel wheels without needing spacers!

Is your NK a single circuit brake system?

Hi. I have ONE of those calipers. It is used. I don’t recall if it’s a left or a right. I can check when I get back to Florida next week if you still need it… I also gave 2 Brembo Aluminum calipers that directly replace the Ate calipers like your new one… Let me know if I can help!?  Ernie

If you have not found a caliper I have one located not far from you in Vacaville. PM for pictures.
