BMW Brakes & Brake Parts for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

BMW E36 318ti Z26 Street Warrior Brake Kit - Front and Rear offers an exceptional braking solution designed for both performance and reliability. This comprehensive kit from Turner Motorsport is perfect for drivers seeking improved braking power and enhanced brake cooling.

The BMW E36 318ti Z26 Street Warrior Brake Kit includes:

• Drilled and Slotted Rotors: Precision-engineered for optimal cooling and performance.
• Extreme Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads: Provide severe-duty stopping power with minimal dust and noise.
• Stainless Steel Hardware: Ensures long-lasting durability and reliable performance.
• New Guide-Pin Bushings: Enhance braking precision and safety.
• High-Temperature Brake Lubricant: Reduces friction and extends the lifespan of brake components.

The Extreme Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads included in this kit deliver superior stopping power while minimizing dust production compared to stock pads. They also reduce brake noise, ensuring a quieter driving experience. The rotors are precision-drilled and slotted to improve cooling and prevent gas and debris buildup, enhancing safety and performance. Additionally, the Silver Zinc Dichromate plating on the rotors provides rust and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term durability and a sleek appearance.

Pagid's newest sprint racing pad was developed for racing cars achieving very high average speeds with short braking distances and functional aero. The RST pads feature very high friction levels for the quickest bite and highest fade resistance than any other Pagid pad. RST pads are broken into 5 levels and all have ranging bite and release characteristics. RST pads will trade low wear for torque output and faster response. These were developed based on the needs of race engineers in World Challenge, Daytona Prototype, and GTLM where functional aero meant high grip in the corners and smaller braking zones.

RST Brake Pad Types:

• RST1 -  Very high friction coefficient, high initial bite, progressive torque curve, very high fade resistant
• RST2 - Medium high friction coefficient, good initial bite, mild progressive torque curve, good pedal feel
• RST3 - High friction coefficient, good initial bite, low heat conductivity, excellent modulation and release characteristics
• RST4 - Medium friction coefficient, good initial bite, mild progressive torque curve, high heat tolerance with consistent feel
• RST5 - Optimum thermal management, absolutely fluid fade resistant, highly developed recovery properties, extremely high friction coefficient

Enhance Your BMW's Braking Performance with ECS Tuning's Innovative Package

Upgrade the braking capabilities of your BMW E36 M3 or Z3M with ECS Tuning's advanced braking package. This solution prioritizes increased brake torque and thermal capacity, utilizing ECS 2-piece E46 M3 CSL rotors to deliver outstanding performance behind 18" wheels and compatible 17" big brake-friendly wheels.

Key Benefits:

• Custom-designed caliper bracket for fitting ECS 2-piece E46 M3 CSL rotors
• Lightweight aluminum hats for reduced weight and enhanced durability
• Gray cast iron rings for wear resistance and efficient heat dissipation
• 2-Piece semi-floating construction prevents rotor warping
• Heat-treated for increased strength and performance
• Directionally veined for accelerated cooling
• Drilled and slotted design for improved ventilation and cleaner brake pads
• Overall weight savings for improved braking and suspension performance
• High manufacturing quality for corrosion resistance and long-term durability

Installation is hassle-free, utilizing existing calipers, pads, lines, and hardware. Upgrade your pads simultaneously with a wide selection of E36 M3 or E46 M3 brake pads for enhanced performance.

The Brake Cooling Backing Plates from HARD Motorsport features a design that creates a pocket that forces cool air directly into the rotor from the hat so that built up up doesn't have time to lead to premature brake failure and wear. For any sporty or track driven vehicle, this is an absolute must have! It is made from lightweight solid aluminum and is power-coated for extra protection and appearance. They are installed into OEM mounting locations using stock hardware.

For use with the HARD Motorsport Complete Brake Cooling Duct Kit

Fits the following vehicles:

E36 BMW M3 and all submodels with an OEM M3 rotor conversion

The caliper sliding bolts are one of the most overlooked wear items in your braking system. Subjected to constant motion and often without adequate lubrication the guide bolts see a lot of wear and tear. Factory BMW caliper guide bolts are very expensive from the dealer - these 304 stainless steel bolts are less than half the price and provide outstanding resistance to corrosion and wear. They are manufacturered with tighter tolerances than the factory bolts too.

Price is per bolt unless noted (2 required per caliper).

Struggling with corroded brake rotor set screws on your BMW? ECS Tuning has the perfect solution. Introducing our stainless steel rotor set screws that won't seize up, preventing the need for drilling out failed screws. The stainless steel composition ensures easy removal, offering years of trouble-free use compared to the OEM part.

• Stainless steel construction prevents corrosion
• Easy removal for years of trouble-free use
• Eliminates the risk of seized set screws
• Custom-designed for BMW vehicles
• Avoids the need for drilling out failed screws
• Check fitment information for your specific BMW model

The ultimate upgrade when it comes to improving stopping power!

Complete with stunning, British-engineered six-piston calipers and all the hardware you need to completely replace all equivalent components of the front axle of your vehicle’s stock braking system, these complete kits give a firmer and more responsive brake pedal feel and allow you to drive much longer without the onset of brake fade.

EBC Racing Brake Kits come with fully‐floating 2‐piece rotors as standard. These rotors allow the cast iron rotor ring to float independently of the hub, preventing disc cracking and leading to reliable performance even when subjected to the most demanding driving conditions.

This kit comes with everything you need in the box and a detailed vehicle-specific installation pack, including race-spec brake fluid for the final system bleed.

Key Features:

Apollo-Series 6-Piston Calipers

Two-piece bolted design that incorporates high-tensile 12.9-grade steel bolts for reinforcement of the caliper bridge section (computer FEA analysis shows that this offers significant improvements in caliper stiffness compared to a monobloc design) Machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings (this offers a noticeable performance advantage over conventional gravity cast calipers, exhibiting higher overall strength and a comparable caliper body stiffness to forging) High-temperature fluid seals coupled with full boot-type dust seals give maximum protection against road grime and debris Lightweight, hard-anodized aluminium staggered pistons with serrated/castellated piston noses that reduce heat transfer into the braking hydraulics Every single brake caliper pressure tested to 2,500psi Uses standard pad shapes, giving choice when selecting brake pads Fully-Floating Two-Piece Discs

Fully-floating 355x32mm two-piece discs that allow the outer ring to expand freely in response to heat (this reduces stress which in turn extends disc life and reduces the tendency for disc cracking during extreme use) Drive bobbins machined from a single piece of stainless steel giving maximum strength and corrosion resistance (this reduces maintenance requirements and ensures the outer ring continues to float freely over time) Disc rings feature 48 directional internal curved vanes for improved cooling Unique ‘Swept Groove’ slot design for effective evacuation of braking dust and gases whilst ensuring good initial bite on brake application Now featuring the latest thermic black corrosion-resistant finish – the very latest in rust prevention Bluestuff™ NDX Performance Brake Pads

Now road legal in most markets, Bluestuff™ NDX combines excellent cold bite with the capability to perform well in short spells of track/race conditions Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

Every hose has a stainless-steel braided exterior that prevents a phenomenon known as ‘ballooning’, this braided exterior prevents the spongey feel of OE rubber lines and provides greater precision and feel under braking Super DOT 4 Brake Fluid

Every kit is supplied with 1 litre of BF307+ super DOT 4 brake fluid. This fluid has a 310°C boiling point – a significantly higher boiling point than standard DOT 5.1 fluid Having such a high boiling point gives the braking system exceptional endurance, allowing you to push hard for extended periods without heat soak causing the fluid to boil and resulting in fade
