E36 Motorsport Front Brake Kit (92-99 3 Series and all Z3)

Purchase E36 Motorsport Front Brake Kit (92-99 3 Series and all Z3)

We have purchased a large overstock of these parts from a manufacturer - help us clean out our overstuffed warehouse and pick up an impressive bit of braking performance for your car as well!  All parts are factory new and either Genuine BMW or original manufacturer, except performance parts as noted.

THE BASICS

These M3-spec parts give your non-M car a 315x28mm directionally vented front rotor - meaning not only is it bigger, but it cools better as well.  Genuine M3 calipers are larger than their non-M counterparts providing greater rigidity and heat-handling capabilities.  Kits also include new knuckle assemblies, hubs, pads, and all hardware, so you get some maintenance parts knocked out in the process as well.  Add our in-house assembly and we will ship two complete corners to your house, ready to bolt on and go!

NEED MORE PERFORMANCE?

The M3 components here are a good platform to build on if you want even better braking performance.  Option this package up with the available pad, rotor, and performance goodies here and you can easily exceed the stopping ability of some of the "ultimate big brake" packages using cheaper aftermarket calipers - glossy paint isn't always better than tried and true!

Available upgrades (at discounted package pricing) include:

• Rotors:  Our preference for the best performer is the Performance Friction Direct Drive with a runout of less than 0.004" (less than all factory parts and even big brake kits!).  This is the same rotor system we use on the World Challenge Touring Cars and we choose them for a reason!
• Pads:  12 different compounds available in this package from street to full race.  Call one of our expert salesmen if you get lost in the choices.
•  Cooling plates:  For track use - these cool your braking system from the 1000+F temps routinely seen on the track.
• Solid caliper guides:  Precision guides compliment the floating BMW caliper design to eliminate slop in the system.
• BimmerWorld Evo stainless brakelines:  Your brakelines do not need to be replaced for fitment, but our lines are excellent if you don't have stainless already.  Stainless lines dramatically reduce hose expansion found in rubber lines that leads to a spongy pedal feel.  The slick blue plastic coating on our lines keeps them clean and reduces degradation over their life.

BimmerWorld Recommended Package - For the best performance, we recommend Performance Friction Direct Drive rotos and either PFC Z-Rated (street use) or PFC 01 (track use) compound pads.  We are offering an additional $50 off retail for this combination of parts.

FITMENT NOTES

This package is a direct bolt-on to all 92-99 E36 3 Series cars including 318, 323, 325, and 328, as well as E36/7 Z3 models.  Larger wheels with a 14" inner barrel are required - typically a 17", but we have some 16" that will fit as well.

We realize that not all BMWs are dedicated street cars (over half of our cars aren't...) so dust shields are optional.  Leaving these off will not only save you $50, but it will help your brakes stay cooler under hard use.  If you want to retain factory specs, we are happy to include them - just click the checkbox when ordering.
