Ate High Performance Big Brake Kit

[H3_2.1-ti]

I'm happy to announce I just received my Ate BBK I got fom VITESSE TUNING. It's huge! 326mm x 30mm (13" x 1 3/16") 2-piece grooved rotors with aluminum hats and 4 piston calipers with the pads already installed. Each piston is 40mm (1 9/16") diameter. Everything is included: brackets, Goodridge teflon coated stainless brake lines, OE brake wear sensor, hardware and easy to follow instructions. It is made specifically to match the OE brake sytem; ABS etc. Actually, Ate makes all BMW OE brake parts. Even the packaging is impressive. Those Germans! The kit has not officially been launched in NA and I am the first in NA with a kit for BMW. I can't wait to install it and put the car on the track!

Here are a couple of pics:

i'm guessing this is a front only kit? any guess on approximate cost? will it work with the stock brake hoses? any idea of rebuild kit availability/cost, pad cost?

LUCKY!

How much? I need it.

Will it fit the stock 16's or do you need 17's or 18's? Glad to see it comes already powdercoated- nice choice!:2gun:

I personally think big brake systems are useless in these cars unless your running in upwards of 250+hp or you race your car on a constant basis or just beat the **** out of it.

Ummm...that would be me. These cars take a beating so well, it would be silly not to pound on em. :biggrin:

It is a front kit and it comes with stainless teflon coated brake lines. All replacement parts are available, but you'd have to contact VITESSE TUNING for prices. You need a minumum 17" wheel on order to clear the caliper. I got the kit for $2199.99. It normally sells for $2495.

Anyway you could hook us all up with that price? :)

I'm sure I can talk them into it. Anyone interested let me know so I can contact them and give them a number. Who's in?

I spoke to the guys at VITESSE TUNING and they're willing to sell the Ate BBK to members of this forum at $2199.99 plus shipping. I'll post some pics as soon as I have the chance to install it.

Cheers,
