a brake rotor is a extremely punished piece of equipment... there will always be failure no matter what company or what case.. physics always wins.... that rotor also could have been over torqued.... |

I had a set on my previous Audi with both street and track pads, and I absolutely loved them. When I get around to that mod on my M I will certainly opt for them over the Brembos.

I wonder if anyone will come out with a caliper kit and bracket that will work with our stock rotors? Aren't the stock rotors 345mm? That's probably the reason Brembo had to go 380mm since the stock units are pretty big.

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

I see there are a couple of new ST BBK threads in the sponsor area. WOW! Sponsors really do respond to our needs! Good job!

Physics are a predictable science and the combination of engineering, raw materials, physical design, and manufacturing processes for the Brembo systems simply do not allow for this type of failure. PERIOD Also Kingleh, if you closely examine the hardware in your StopTech kit I'm sure you'll be able to recognize the reasons that over torquing is not a plausible cause for that type of failure either. It's not my place to address real possible causes of such a failure since it is not a Brembo product, I just wanted to let people know that this is not a common phenomenon with brakes in general, and definitely NOT a concern for Brembo. |

But just for reference: The 6-piston monobloc alone has a minimum of 8 variations that I can think of off the top of my head. (and No, this does not include different color options ) This caliper is available for use in both front or rear brake systems and must have a wide variety of piston combination's to offer functional performance advantages while maintaining optimum bias. Each of the calipers introduced into the High Performance program since the original "F50" and "Lotus" style calipers were developed with the same philosophy for a wide range of use between multiple applications by being made available with multiple piston combination's.
