I'm lazy. So I haven't done one. I'll try to remember to post up some photos here in the next couple of weeks.
She is under the knife again right now getting new wider aluminum front control arms and some bump steer changes.
First event is in Mid may so it will be back on it's wheels soon.

I would take $200 for the front and rear pads. The front are at least that by themselves.
As for the thread derail, that is what threads are for.
Here is some details on the E30
Had it on scales the other day. 2208lbs
87 325is (M20 motor)
Here is a list of what I can think of at the moment that would have helped bring the weight down:
completely gutted and de-soundproofed
single race seat
Chromoly full roll cage
Fiberglass (Front bumper, Front fenders, Hood, Trunk)
Just the outside skin of the doors held on with dzus fasteners
Deleted (AC, power steering, ABS, sunroof)
Gutted dash and custom steering column
Lightweight SS headers and very simple single muffler exhaust.
Lightweight 15x8 wheels with slicks
It's pretty mean looking as it also has E30 M3 style box flares but the car is 4 inches wider than the M3.

Yep. Stock fitment.
These are full-on track pads so you would want to swap them out for the day of the event as the cold bite isn't very good. That said, It's pretty easy to fade just about any "performance pad" with a powerful 3400lb car. These will just be getting to their sweet spot at temperatures that would destroy street pads. I was going to go all out with my S70 and bought everything for the build but then realized that a 2200lb E30 would be a better idea in the long run. You may want to buy my 18T conversion as well
