E46 M3 Stoptech 14 inch BBK Fronts + Rears
Stoptech 14 inch BBK is part of my M3 motor project, but I figured some of the M3 guys would wanna see the kit and how it compares with other BBKs...
Packaged a little differently that Brembo GT's...easier to carry...  One box for each corner...tricky thing is that they put both pads in one box and both caliper holders in the other...I thought I was missing a whole $hit load of stuff...  14inch...slotted...    This thing is like a steak...  YaY...instructions...

So the rotors come sprayed with this anti-rust film...stoptech includes about 4 huge notices and on every other page of the manual to give it a bath...=)
 Nothing like some watermellon smelling rotors...  Scruba dub dub...  Air dry...  Mounted...  Whoo hoo...  A lil motion...

just wondering, but with as much taken apart of your car, how come the head shield needed to be cut off? Thanks.
Brakes looks awesome! Exactly what I am looking into. |

excellent questions...
mpoweredm: the whole rear suspension is from a M3...so I didn't have to take it apart...i hear its a pain to take off the dust shield in the rear so i rather just cut it...plus the directions say cut it also...this is also why i left out the dust shield in the front...but im not sure if it would've gotten in the way because the directions don't say anything about cutting the fronts... gadgetcar: i actually got some antisqueek from the shop foreman...but i called up stoptech...and they said that don't bother putting it in because if i track the car that stuff will just melt and get stuck on the caliper...he said that the majority of brake noise is from improper bedding... |
