Unleash Your BMW's True Stopping Power.

Transform your BMW's braking with our modular Big Brake Kit for the E36 and E46 chassis. Replacing factory sliding calipers with a fixed 4-piston setup delivers shorter stopping distances, superior heat management, and a precise, immediate pedal feel—perfect for spirited driving and track days.

Key Features & Modular Design

  • 4-Piston Fixed Calipers: Rigid, lightweight calipers ensure even pad wear, eliminate flex, and provide massive clamping force with consistent, fade-free performance.
  • Custom Powder Coating (Upon Request): Calipers can be professionally powder coated in your choice of color for a durable, heat-resistant finish that matches your build.
  • 338mm Brake Discs (Your Choice of Brand): Pair calipers with 338mm rotors from the brand you trust. Each disc features a center bore machined to fit the E36/E46 hub dimensions precisely, ensuring a seamless bolt-on fitment without the need for adapters or modifications. The larger size adds thermal mass and brake torque.
  • High-Performance Brake Pads (Your Choice of Compound): Select the perfect pad for your driving style from your preferred brand.
  • Optional Brake Duct Kit: Channels cool air to the rotor center, reducing temperatures, fighting fade, and extending pad and rotor life. Available on order.

Optimized for Your Chassis

  • Wheel Fitment: Fits most 17-inch or larger wheels. (Spoke design and offset affect clearance; fitment template available on request.)
