Performance Friction (PFC) brake kits for E90/E92 M3

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.

Performance Friction 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 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 doe 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 in-depth explanation of features, please call or email one of our experienced technical sales reps for more information.
