Front Big Brake Kits

E46 M3 CSL brakes fit the E36 M3 for a bolt-on size enhancement and more stopping power. The CSL rotors are a full 30mm (1.18") larger than the stock E36 M3 discs. The larger rotor puts out more braking torque and can handle more friction and heat than stock. With the special brackets these larger rotors are able to bolt-on to the E36 M3 hub using your original calipers and lines. Simply bolt them on using the new caliper bracket. The E36 M3 CSL upgrade is a moderate upgrade over stock compared to a StopTech or Brembo Big Brake Kit but has lower upfront cost, lower consumable cost (pads and rotors), and has a wide range of pad choices (any brake pad for an E36 M3 or E46 M3 will work).

We offer these brakes with three rotor choices -

• Stoptech (Centric) CSL/ZCP Cross-Drilled and Floating
• Original M3 CSL/ZCP Cross-Drilled and Floating
• ECS 2-piece Cross Drilled and Slotted Floating (pictured)

With more braking torque, the brake bias is changed. For the street, you will notice more stopping power and more "bite" from the front brakes. You may not notice the front brakes are working harder. If you're using this kit on the track it will be more important to balance the brake bias using different front-rear pad compounds. The front brakes will be doing more work than before to slow the car down and you will need to balance that with a more aggressive pad on the rear. You may notice the front tires locking up sooner, especially in wet conditions. Contact us to discuss track pads for your situation.

Wheel fitment: 18" wheels are strongly recommended for brake clearance although some 17" wheels will work (if they clear a BBK they will work with these)

Caliper: 4-pistonLotus
Caliper color: black (standard), red, silver
Rotors: 330x28mm, 1-piece, cross-drilled or slotted

Brembo Big Brakes are available for the E30 M3! Featuring 4-piston calipersand 1-piece cross-drilled or slotted rotors, these brakes are the perfectcompliment to the racing character of the E30 M3. With Brembo's brakes you willget maximum braking force thanks to their rigid mounting and greater stoppingperformance thanks to the larger rotors and better heat dissipation. GranTurismo brake kits come with a high-performance brake pad as standard. 17"wheels are required to clear this kit (click here for wheel clearance diagram).
