BMW Brakes & Brake Parts for BMW Z3 (1996-2002)

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

1 Gallon Power Extractor makes fluid changing and bleeding tasks straightforward and efficient. Ideal for extracting differential, brake, engine, or transmission fluids, this versatile tool utilizes an integrated hand pump to create a vacuum in the tank, drawing fluid into the unit via the attached tubing. The Power Extractor features a 1-gallon capacity high-density polyurethane tank that is resistant to all chemicals, ensuring durability and reliability.

• Versatile Use: Suitable for extracting a variety of fluids including differential, brake, engine, and transmission fluids.
• Efficient Operation: Integrated hand pump creates a vacuum for easy fluid extraction.
• Durable Construction: High-density polyurethane tank resists chemical damage and is built to last.
• Portable and Convenient: Lightweight and corrosion-proof design makes it easy to use at home or on the go.
• Includes Dipstick Tube: Comes with a dipstick tube for hassle-free oil changes.

The 1 Gallon Power Extractor is an essential tool for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable and efficient solution for fluid extraction.

BRAKE CALIPER PISTON TOOL SET:

The Schwaben 18-piece disk brake retractor tool kit screws brake caliper pistons back into their bores to make room needed for new brake pads. An essential tool for working on calipers with threaded pistons, the kit comes with both right-hand and left-hand thread screw jacks, press plate, and 15 different diameter press disks to fit a wide variety of vehicles, both import and domestic, including Audi, BMW, Ford, GM, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen and others.

Made of 100 percent chromalloy steel for strength, durability, and long service life.

PROTECTA SOCKET SET:

Protecta socket are used to keep ugly scratch marks from showing up after torqueing down wheel lugs.

Features:

• Coated six-point deep-well impact sockets 
• Color coded mar-free exterior coatings that prevent nicks and scratches left by plain metal sockets
• 17mm, 19mm and 21mm Sockets included

Use these with your breaker bar or impact gun to remove the tightest wheel bolts and lug nuts: when reinstalling wheels, use them to final torque wheel fasteners to factory specifications.

Combine these with our torque limiting sockets and the Schwaben ½-inch torque wrench for a complete wheel fastener solution.

CALIPER HOOK SET:

• Tired of messing with bent coat hangers or bungee cords to hang your calipers up and out of the way when performing brake maintenance? These hooks make working on your brakes easier by letting you hang your calipers with ease, no more fighting with the bungee cords or zip ties to hold the caliper just right or having to make your own "custom" hooks with wire.
• Holds brake calipers out of the way while working on brakes
• Also use to hang other automotive parts and tools while working on your vehicle.
• Stronger than zip ties or wire.
• Save the brake hose by not hanging caliper by hose.
• Made of  thick steel for strength and durability. length is 8"
