Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread so far. SYT, thank-you very much for your detailed feedback and experience with several of the top BBKs for the E9X M3 platform. Funny you mention the nickel-plated Alcons from Bimmerworld...I was on the phone w/one of the Bimmerworld sales reps who had actually mentioned that this was coming in the undetermined future. 1) If I may ask, what's the price point on the nickel-plated Alcon offering compared to the regular offering from Bimmerworld? 2) Do you have any photos of them? Thanks, Alex

Every time I see a 991 Cup car or a Cayman CS that comes with a nickel plated PFC kit I'm reminded how good that finish looks. When the BW-Alcons came out they were only anodized so that's what we got. Very durable finish but a little plain. That's what we got for our CS. When GTS1 and GTS2 came into the picture we felt we had to have the nickel plated calipers. BImmerWorld said they didn't exist but as we were buying two kits and kept pestering them we got them to place a larger order of these. The timeline leaves us in June! No idea if there are other kits from that order that are not spoken for. They were ~600 more per axle than the anodized. For me, this seems like a no-brainer given the cost of any of these brake kits. No photos because they don't exist yet, but I'll try to attach one of another Alcon kit to give you an idea. |

Looking back we should have kept the CS alcons until we got the plated ones! |

Had the PFC on our E92 and it was great, as expected. Had the E36 PFC before so had a good idea of what to expect on the E92.
Got the Alcon kit for our M4 now, haven't driven with it yet but it looks great. Much fancier then the PFC, hopefully it performs as well. Never used the AP kits, but some on here have used it with good success. |

Probably the best decision I have ever made. Modulation is great and the GTS kit lasted me 15 DEs before having to change front rotors with some pad life left.

As of 3 weeks ago i finally received my new PFC front and rear rotors and im beyond excited because i did NOT want to get into another BBK system. BIMMERWORLD came through and i praise them! Alcon was my other choice if i couldnt source another set of rotors to replace the current dunZo set. Everyone preaches to me about the AP system but i compared them to my PFC BBK and well.....doesnt compare. Question, on the Rings with the front PFC rotors, you guys use a heat gun to pry them out, its a bit of a fight to loosen the locking ring set. Thanks! |

Hey guys may I ask if anyone here has experience with using dual duty pads on their E9x's with either the project Mu club racer pads or DS2500? (my car is predominantly a street car)
My buddy reckons the Mu CR absolutely shit all over the DS2500 in every regard (cold braking, better pedal feel etc etc) but I was surprised when my Mu dealer recommended the DS2500 over his Mu pads |

Anyone with the AP kit ever change to a PFC or stop tech rotor or just any other rotor. I always have a issue with the rear of the rotor cracking inside to the bearing and this is with the J-hooks. Looking for something that will last longer. Race teams that run ap's seem to always have a different rotor other then the j-hooks just not sure what the run.

My pads are only 18mm. I wanted the 9668 but it wouldn't fit my street wheels. May have to sort that out.

I'm guessing, the emphasis on the 34mm option from Essex (also at 372 vs 375 diameter) is weight reduction. The larger and thicker disk adds unsprung weight.
