Street and track testing are currently being performed.

The F30 pad has a much larger surface area than the E90 335i pad.

Nice Harold, but you ve hidden the most interesting blue thing that is behind the rotor... what is it?) Do you have any info on pad surface area? Want to compare it with our stock pads.

looks like its just a cap that just covers the hole where the brake lines will go.

also would this fit 328xi?

Why wouldn't it fit the 328XI? E9X right?

I'm asking because the 335 and 328 have different pads and rotors and calipers according to realoem.

Just wanna double check

How much do the brakes in Harold's first post:

resemble these:

Are the second image 6 piston? The image is taken from this thread, which features the E90 M3 Evo: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=528176

seanblee · 03-08-2012, 05:34 PM

Pretty sure that's a six-piston caliper, not 4-piston like these...

HP Autosport · 03-08-2012, 05:35 PM

Due to pad overrun we will have custom brake pads made before proceeding with more testing.

Just wishful thinking on my part...

What do you mean by "pad overrun"?

Pad friction surface is beyond the rotor friction surface.

In this case i didn't get why you don't want to use new 370mm rotors if fitment is not an issue of course. These rotors cost slightly more than 35is rotors and the cost of this upgrade will be more than 1k cheaper than brembo. With custom pads this kit will lose some of it's oem attractiveness. Just my opinion.

I would have to agree with this post. I'd porobably buy new pads anyways and new slotted rotors if I upgrade the calipers. Would you be able to order new pads with the setup vs a custom pad?

Looks like your kit is already listed on your site. Any pictures of these powdercoated? Is it possible to ship them the way they are and have someone else powdercoat them the color that we want? Either way this looks to be promising over the $2500-3,000.00 big brake kits.

Just my opinion.

Given the number of people running 17" track wheels and keeping the cost of the kit down and using stock size rotor(many of you will liklely not buy new rotors), which are also available just about anywhere.

370mm rotor, at this time, is dealer only, but that is another R&D altogether.

We already knew it wasn't going to be straight retrofit from the start. The more custom parts we make the more this kit will cost.

Kit will be sold as they come with no color.

Is there a scheduled release date?

JDLM · 03-10-2012, 11:56 AM

Since they are on the site does that mean if we place an order we will need to wait for the pad issue/choice to be ironed out?

I am willing to wait
