INTRODUCTORY SPECIAL - Performance Friction E9X M3 Stage 1 Brake Package

Race winning technology utilized for ultimate street/track performance!

The E9X M3 comes from the factory with outstanding brakes for street use but can be limiting for experienced drivers looking to get 100% out of their ultimate driving machine. We have assembled a kit comprised of our best brake products for the E9X M3 to increase the stopping ability in street, track, or race conditions.

We looked at the braking system and found weak links that could hinder high performance braking ability and improved them with the absolute best products in the aftermarket. The E9X M3 comes from the factory with brake pads engineered for performance street use where elevated temperature typically is not a concern. The factory front rotors are a semi-floating drilled design that still leaves performance and weight on the table. Also, the factory E9X M3 rotors are drilled which performs better than a blank rotor on the street but tend to crack on the track from elevated temperatures. The Performance Friction Direct Drive rotors are dimpled to create the advantages of a drilled rotor without the tendencies to crack with heat. Unsprung weight is also a concern for modern auto enthusiasts due to the ever increasing size and weight of the car itself. The factory brake lines are standard rubber, much like the non-M 3 Series. These rubber lines can expand due to increased pressure and temperature resulting in a soft pedal and reduced brake feedback. And last but not least, the factory brake fluid is not stable at track temperatures and has a tendency to boil, allowing air in the brake's hydraulic system. Considerable fade is a result of this issue and a common problem for track day attendees.

To combat these issues we have assembled these premium aftermarket components into one package for ultimate brake performance:

• Performance Friction Direct Drive™ two piece floating front rotor set - Floating front rotor set allows for an even expansion of the disc for reduced rotor run-out, and better pad wear. Direct Drive rotors have extremely high tolerances for ultimate performance in the most demanding situations. Discs are dimple drilled to increase the friction coefficient and aid in pad liner "cleaning" without the tendency to crack under extreme heat like the stock drilled rotor.
• Performance Friction Z-Rated, Carbon Metallic 01 race pad set, or Carbon Metallic 08 race pad set front and rear* - Our kit comes with the option of Performance Friction Z-Rated performance street/track pads or Carbon Metallic 01 track/race pads. Either option is the ultimate pad set for their intended environment. Z-Rated street/track pads offer low dust and noise with excellent bite, cold or hot. They are an ideal compromise for customers not wanting to change their pads before a track event. Z-Rated pads can handle elevated temperatures of an auto-x or driving school, but are not suggested for track event where extremely high brake temperatures are expected. For E9X M3s seeing considerable amounts of track and race use, we suggest Performance Friction's Carbon Metallic 01 pad set or Performance Friction's Carbon Metallic 08 endurance pad set, front and rear. This pad set offers excellent bite and modulation, a consistent long life, and strong resistance to heat induced fade. Carbon Metallic race pads are not suggested for street use but can be used to get to and from the track.
• BimmerWorld EVO complete stainless steel brake line set - Our brake lines feature a non-expansive Teflon® center core, surrounded by braided stainless steel for durability and abrasion resistance. Lines are sheathed with an attractive blue plastic cover for a clean look and to prevent debris from working into the stainless braids. EVO lines are tested to at least 3,000psi, and stamped with our DOT approval number. This DOT stamp is the government's approval that our manufacturing process produces lines able to endure rigorous testing that simulates road use. This 3 digit stamp on each of our lines ensures that every line is made and tested to DOT standards, with the DOT stamp of approval - not just "made to DOT standards" or "DOT compliant" like many other brands.
• Motul RBF 600 racing brake fluid (2 500ml containers) - Motul 600 offers extremely high dry and wet boiling points help prevent vapor lock and brake fade during hard use. The dry boiling point is is an incredible 593°F, far exceeding the stock brake fluid. What is even more important, as the fluid ages it naturally absorbs water. As it absorbs water throughout the hydraulic system the boiling point will decrease. Motul 600 has a extremely high "wet" boiling point (420°F) allowing for high performance even when the fluid has age. This allows reduced brake bleeding sessions at the track and longer flush intervals. Motul 600 exceeds DOT 4 requirements and is acceptable for modern brake systems incorporating ABS.

*Customer has the option of selecting Performance Friction Z-Rated, Carbon Metallic 01 race pads, or Carbon Metallic 08 race pads when adding product to cart.

Applications include all E92 and E90 M3 cars

Made in the USA (Motul fluid is made in Europe)
