Brembo 08-13 M3/11-12 1M Front GT BBK 6 Piston Cast 380x34 2pc Rotor Slotted Type1-Silver

This Brembo GT Big Brake Kit for your BMW M3 (2008-2013) and 1M (2011-2012) gives you a complete front brake upgrade right out of the box. You get a pair of massive 380x34mm two-piece rotors, each featuring a Type 1 slotting pattern designed to help keep your pads clean and cool. The kit also includes a set of six-piston calipers, which are cast from durable aluminum for a solid feel and reduced weight, and all the necessary hardware to get them mounted up. This is a serious upgrade for anyone looking to improve their car's stopping power and feel, especially if you plan on pushing the car hard on the track or just want the best possible performance on the street.

Brembo is well-known for their high-performance braking systems, and this kit is a prime example. The six-piston calipers offer more clamping force than the stock setup, working in conjunction with the larger rotors to significantly increase braking performance. The two-piece rotor design helps manage heat more effectively, reducing the risk of fade during prolonged braking events. The Type 1 slotting on the rotors is a smart design choice; it helps vent gases and dust away from the pad surface, maintaining consistent friction and a more predictable pedal feel. The cast aluminum calipers are not only strong but also help reduce unsprung weight, which can have a positive impact on your car's overall handling.

When you're installing a kit like this, it's a good idea to have a few things on hand. Beyond the kit itself, you'll want to make sure you have fresh brake fluid – a high-performance DOT 4 fluid is recommended to handle the increased temperatures. You'll also want to follow Brembo's specific installation instructions carefully, as proper bleeding of the brake system is crucial for optimal performance and safety. This kit is designed to be a direct replacement for the factory components, making the installation process as straightforward as possible for a big brake kit.
