Brembo/PBR Ceramic Front Brake Upgrade Kit

[BimmerBum]

Alright...

This special is just for 318ti.org folks.

I put together a front brake kit that uses slotted rotors from Brembo Sport, PBR Ceramic Pad Set (AXXIS), and an OEM sensor.

I am currently running this set up on my Z3 coupe and my E46 wagon and it is amazing. The E46 sees track use with this set up also.

I have 2 options:

1) For 318ti's with stock front brakes from before 4/1998 $139.99

2) For 318ti's with E46 325/328 front brakes (300mm rotors) $159.99

The rotors are only gold in color till you use them, it is a coating brembo uses to keep them from rusting.

For those of you that want to upgrade to the E46 set up, I can source the carriers and calipers needed.

Do you have vented rotors up front now? In 4/98 BMW went to vented rotors on the ti.

[Npavs]

I have a 96 with drilled and slotted(from the PO)

if you could put together an e46 upgrade package for the early non vented tis i may be interested as well

[BimmerBum]

Alright, I do not deal in used parts so no flames about pricing.

The early ti's will need new calipers and new carriers.

NEW ATE Calipers: $450.00

NEW Genuine BMW Carriers: $250

The late ti's will only need the carriers.

I found a source for rebuilt ATE calipers. I can do those for $150 a pair for those wanting to do the E46 (300mm) upgrade.

Oh man, how long are you gonna be doing this for? Because if I trade up the ti soon this will be one of the first things I do to it. Id do it now but I dont know if I wanna take it all out before I sell.

I have a limited number of each type of rotor when they are gone they are gone. I bought Brembo out of the last of each type and they have no plans to produce anymore.

[SDKmann]

Wait, so your saying once these are gone Ill never be able to buy these for a ti again?

Interested, can I get matching rear rotors? I need all pretty soon and really want to upgrade. Is there any option for coating? Have any experience? I painted the hats on my previous set of Brembos and they stayed rust free for about .1 milliseconds in the Cleveland salt.

Will you sell just the rotors?

The rear rotors are not availiable. I can set you up with a set of stock rear rotors and the PBR pads.

There are no coating options. I can tell you that these rotors with this coating have been on my coupe for 3 years and they have yet to rust.

When I paint rotors I use engine paint, several coats, and I prep the surface well.

Sure...

89.99 for the pre 4/98 stock ti rotors.


109.99 for the 300mm E46 rotors

[96cali]

Just to clarify, the e46 rotors are vented and larger in diameter but same in thickness as my vented Ti rotors? So I use same calipers, same pads. Does this mean same stopping power but slightly better looks or is there a performance gain to doing the e46 325/328 rotors?

Thanks for the info on the coatings. My last set was maybe 5 years ago, not sure if they coated them. I used hi temp spray paint, maybe I would try and use a brush on caliper paint or something more quality like Wurth.
