Gruppe M Brake System - by Alcon Brakes
GruppeM is proud to introduce its exclusive new Brake System for the BMW E46 M3 complete with opposed piston monobloc callipers designed and manufactured by our technical partner Alcon. Please note this kit fits inside the standard M3 18 inch rim.
The kit consists of the following:
Front:
- Die cast 6 piston monobloc caliper, with differential size pistons for even
pad wear and excellent feel characteristics.
- 360x32mm ventilated (48 vane) discs for increased braking torque over
standard M3 brake as well as improved thermal capacity and cooling, enabling
the car to be used to its full potential on the track.
- Discs mounted to aluminium floating bells to reduce unsprung weight.
- Floating mechanism allows thermal expansion of the discs leading to
increased life, as well as the ability to reduce brake knock off due to
upright deflection.
- Pagid RS9-1 pads with increased area over standard, increased friction
compared to standard as well as increased fade resistance.
- Caliper adaptor brackets, and braided hoses included, with the latter
contributing to a good firm pedal compared with a system using compressible
rubber hoses.
Price: HKD$25,400 & USD$3,300 - Fitting service available
Rear:
- Dia cast 4 piston monobloc caliper, with differential size pistons for even
pad wear and excellent feel characteristics.
- 343x28mm ventilated (48 vane) discs for increased braking torque over
standard M3 brake as well as improved thermal capacity and cooling, enabling
the car to be used to its full potential on the track.
- Discs rigidly mounted to iron bells which accommodate the OE handbrake
(drum) mechanism.
- Pagid RS9-1 pads with increased area over standard, increased friction
compared to standard as well as increased fade resistance.
- Caliper adaptor brackets and braided hoses included, with the latter
contributing to a good firm pedal compared with a system using compressible
rubber hoses.
