measure the ecs rotor or put back the stock rotor and give it a light coat of flat black acrylic paint, just a slight dusting to check the wear pattern |

Also I would ask you to look at this photo and look at how the rotor is offset so far on the outside

it could be just a casting issue The distance you need to worry about is between the piston and rotor. Last edited by martymil; 10-08-2017 at 05:05 PM.. |

After reading through tons of pages, the general consensus is that the front are working out pretty well with noticably less issues than the rear. Can anyone with just front upgrade s chime in your your experience. Just brake feel and stopping power for just the front. I'm due for front brake overhaul new pads and rotors and new lines and a kit minus rotors for $1500-1800 sounds mighty temping.

For about $2175, you can get a Stoptech ST40 kit with braided lines, pads, and hatted rotors that is lighter than stock and should stop just as well or better. Cost is less than the refurbished Brembo kit with new stock rotors.
http://www.bimmerworld.com/Brakes/BM...5X35-ST40.html 6 piston kit with 380mm rotors is $2600: http://www.bimmerworld.com/Brakes/BM...0X35-ST60.html New, not refurbished. Lightweight 2 piece rotors with replaceable rings. And designed to fit the rotor perfectly. Cost is a little more than the refurbished Brembo rotor kit with new stock size stock calipers. If you just bought new rotors and are now looking at a BBK, the refurbished Brembo kit is worth a look. The other company selling new Corvette Brembos that are machined to fit adapters and use stock rotors is also worth a look. |

you need to compare 4 pot stoptech kit with oem brake system, they are on the same level. and, to compare 6 pot stoptech caliper, you can check pads dimensions - it has 152mm brake pads. it's closer to 4 pot brembo (132mm length), than 6 pot brembo, with huge 190mm pads. 8 pot brembo has 2x 95mm pads, which is almost the same as 190mm 6 pot pads. |

Threads been pretty quiet lately. Anyone still buying these? Any long term reports.
Mine have held up really well and I am happy with my purchase.

I checked out M3boost's video on these and it seems as though there were unsolved issues and he has the newer version 2 rears so not sure if these concerns have been addressed yet?

Hi everyone!
I`m also user of AK Motorsport Brembo big brake kit in E92 M3. I should soon replace front pads and sensors. Problem is that I don`t know which pad sensors I should buy? As you know, brake pads are from Audi, so connectors are not suitable to BMW. I tried to get answer from Albert, but he just sent me part numbers for original BMW pad sensors, and those will not fit to Brembo pad. Last edited by Reeperbahn; 12-28-2018 at 04:53 AM.. |

Setup looks killer, does anyone know what happened with AK’s website? Can’t seem to find it. When I click his link it takes me to another site.
