![]() Most BMWs have 50-50 weight distribution so the correct braking proportioning is crucial! StopTech engineers each kit around that vehicle's dynamics by altering the size and number of pistons in the caliper to match the rotor size used in the kit. Brake traction is better when all four tires are doing the work. With too much braking force on the front, rear traction is compromised. ![]() Maximizing brake efficiency by braking with all four wheels. Sounds obvious right? Many bolt-on caliper upgrades and other big brake kits are not built with the specific vehicle's dynamics in mind. + Street Performance brake pads that work on both street and light track use + DOT-compliant stainless steel brake lines + Billet aluminum mounting hats for superior strength over steel + Cross-Drilled for street use or Gas-Slotted for street or track use + AeroRotor patented vaning for superior air flow + Vehicle-specific calipers that maintain correct brake proportioning and balance + extremely strong caliper and mounting system - reduces flex and deflection, improving torque application to the disc ![]() + Larger and thicker rotors - less fade and longer pad and rotor life + Vehicle-specific design - improves brake feel with a firmer pedal + Caliper design improves brake application and increases torque - braking is stronger meaning shorter stopping distances and faster response Safety Improvements from A Big Brake Kit: By increasing the rotor size, using a larger pad, and a fixed forged aluminum caliper, you can improve your braking performance substantially for any condition! StopTech Brakes have been used on Turner Motorsport racecars since 2003, winning 5 sports car championships and recording numerous race wins since. This brake upgrade gives better stopping performance in everyday driving, aggressive street driving, or all-out track days. StopTech builds each kit around the specific vehicle, engineering the system to achieve the correct brake balance. StopTech's Front Big Brake Kit for the E36/E46 is a model-specific brake upgrade engineered to work with the stock brake hydraulics and ABS/DSC system. StopTech Brakes puts championship-winning race technology and state-of-the-art engineering under your feet. Rotors: 332x32mm, cross-drilled or slottedĪlso Included: stainless steel brake lines, StopTech Street Performance pads, hardware E46 Style 68 wheels shown are used with 5mm spacer. Requires 17" wheels and wheel spacers may be required depending on wheel spoke design. For track driving we recommend a more aggressive rear pad to balance the brake bias or a StopTech or Brembo big brake kit that has been properly engineered for the chassis (not a retrofit). During normal street driving all you will notice is that the brakes feel stronger. Consequently there will be more front brake bias - the front brakes have more bite than before. This is a direct fit to all E36 and E46 (not E46 M3) and comes with a lot more braking power than standard (especially on non-M E36).
