Rotora Direct Replacement Caliper Upgrade Kits for 2001 to 2006 BMW E46 M3 are made of billet aluminum alloy and CNC machined to ensure the highest quality; Rotora's high performance brake system enables superior brake modulation while improving overall pedal feel to ensure equal distribution of weight transfer when braking. To achieve this proportional front-to-rear brake bias, Rotora’s opposing piston calipers are fine tuned by increasing the clamp load to the optimal level while utilizing the stock master cylinder to retain overall front-to-rear brake bias. Rotora’s full big brake system design delivers excellent initial bite, exceptional modulation, and consistent pedal feel for street and track use applications. All systems are ABS compatible and direct bolt on replacement with minimal modifications required.
OPTIONAL:
Standard Caliper Color: red or metallic blue.
Custom Caliper Color: dark blue, chrome, gunmetal, gold, silver, black, or yellow (lead time of 60 days depending on application).
Ceramic Pads: Rotora ceramic disc brake pads are the latest high performance street and race pads to be introduced into the aftermarket. Rotora has applied the same materials, engineering, and quality standards from the formulation used in its high performance brake systems to OEM vehicles with stock calipers. Designed for extreme street or track and hard braking applications, Rotora pads feature ceramic-metallic strengthened non-asbestos formula with a high co-efficient of friction and high temperature fade resistance with quick recovery to offer more consistent pedal feel for driver confidence.
Disc Type: plain, slotted, or drilled & slotted discs are same size as the OE rotors. (For more severe applications, slotted is preferred. For street and light track use, plain OEM or drilled & slotted is acceptable).
Brake Lines: Rotora stainless steel braided brake lines prevent brake hose expansion under pressure and improve stiffer pedal feel. All rotora’s steel braided lines meet D.O.T. compliance standards and pressure tested to meet FMVSS-106 (federal motor vehicle safety standards) standard. All kits include fittings, hoses and all necessary hardware.
