New from Performance Friction - the
new line of Z-Rated brake kits specifically for your BMW! Without
question, this brake kit is the best on the market and that
conclusion comes from years of racing domination, not the marketing
desk. Also, unlike other brands whose street kits have only the
nametag in common with their top level racing components, these PFC
parts are the real deal that win Championships across the board of
top-level professional series Champ Car, ALMS, Rolex, World
Challenge, Grand-Am Koni, WTCC, Australian V8 Supercars, etc,
etc...
The E9X M3 kit was specifically
designed to meet the needs of the most demanding BMW Performance
enthusiast and racer. Brake bias is moved slightly to the rear for
improved braking performance in both front-only and 4-wheel
applications.
Calipers
The 4-piston Z31 caliper used on
both the front and rear of this E9X kit is a Monobloc design,
machined from a single piece of allow billet (not a casting used by
all other manufacturers) for maximum strength from an FEA-created
design that optimizes weight while keeping the caliper rigid. This
unique caliper uses four pads per caliper - one per piston for an
incredible bite and the ability to mix pad selection for mixed-use
cars. Calipers are finished with a black anodizing and include dust
boots.
Why not 6-piston? Performance
Friction takes their top level racing technology and applies it to
everything they design, and make every component that comes from
their South Carolina manufacturing facility perform at the highest
level possible. A 4-piston caliper, designed correctly, is lighter
and has better release characteristics than a similar 6-piston
piece. If you are trying to impress piston counters, there are much
cheaper ways to do it. If you want the best performing brakes you
can buy, look no further.

Caliper Technology
Rotors
Rotor sizing is one of the magical
parts of this kit. Well maybe no magic is involved, but the
Performance Friction engineers are so crafty that magical may be
the best explanation. Due to the high level of electronic control
in the E9X braking system, brake bias is difficult to modify, but
due to component design in the 4-wheel kit, your M3 will have more
rear bias for dramatically more overall stopping power, with both
light and full-ABS threshold braking!
The Performance Friction rotors used
in all kits are the newest V2 Direct Drive Rotors. Made from a
precision casting, all external surfaces are machined to tolerances
of 0.004", including the OD of the vein area that most
manufacturers leave rough-cast. This is the only rotor that are mechanically, thermally,
and dynamically balanced - meaning you will never warp them because
they are balanced in all situations, all temperatures.
New V2 hardware reduces weight an
additional half pound from the already light V1
components.
Kit also includes Z-Rated PFC
performance pads and the required stainless brake line
set.
This kit is vastly superior to
de-contented kits for street and race applications made by other
manufacturers. If you have specific questions or would like a more
