domination. PFC components win Championships in many forms
ofprofessional racing series including Champ Car, ALMS, Rolex, World
Challenge, Grand-Am Koni, WTCC, Australian V8 Supercars, and others.
The E36 M3 kit was specifically designed to meet the needs of the BMW Performance enthusiast and racer. Brake bias is moved slightly to the rear for improved braking performance in both front-only and 4-wheel applications.
Overview
Caliper details:
FRONT:
The 4-piston Z31 (355mm x32mm disk) and ZR44 (323mm) calipers are Monobloc designs, machined from a single piece of aluminum billet for maximum strength from an FEA-created design that optimizes weight while keeping the caliper rigid. The unique Z31 caliper uses four pads per caliper - one per piston for an incredible bite and the ability to mix pad selection for mixed-use cars.
The 4-piston Z45 caliper (323mm disk) is a 2-piece (BMW Prepared legal) design. Unlike every other 2-piece caliper on the market that is cast and machined, the PFC Z45 caliper is a full billet piece, machined from a single piece of alloy. Caliper halves are bolted together with a total of 6 mil-spec bolts and nuts (not threaded into the other caliper half), plus a structural bridge. These two features make this caliper both incredibly light and incredibly strong to reduce flex.
REAR:
The Z29 caliper (321mm x 20mm disk) in the rear is a 2-piece design that is a full billet piece, machined from a single piece of alloy. Caliper halves are bolted together with a total of four mil-spec bolts and nuts (not threaded into the other caliper half). These two features make this caliper both incredibly light and incredibly strong to reduce flex.
Calipers are finished in your choice of red, silver, or black.
Rotors
The Performance Friction rotors used in all kits are the newest V2 Direct Drive Rotors. Made from a precision casting, all external surfaces are machined to tolerances of 0.004", including the OD of the vein area that most manufacturers leave rough-cast. This is the only rotor that are mechanically, thermally, and dynamically balanced. This means you will never warp them because they are balanced in all situations, all temperatures. New V2 hardware reduces weight an additional half pound from the already light V1 components. Front rotors are either 323x32mm or 355x32, rear are 321x20mm - properly sized to maximize performance and reduce weight.
Complete Kit
All kits include Z-Rated PFC performance pads , all necessary brackets and hardware, and the required stainless brake line set.
