E30 Brakes

Korman Big Brakes

E30 325 kit to fit within original 15” wheels.  Lightweight aluminum floating calipers with titanium pistons.  Same calipers we used on our E36 I prepared M3 that won the Club National Championship in ’98 and many wins and lap records since.  Double ventilated 290x20mm rotors on lightweight aluminum hats.   P/N  34112325A

Korman Bigger Brakes   (pictured)

Require 16” or larger wheels.  Same lightweight aluminum caliper with bigger 310x20mm double ventilated rotors, aluminum hats.  Will handle full racing use with spec tires.     P/N 34112325B

Korman Biggest 325 Brakes

Same as above but with thicker 28mm rotors.  You may need these if you are on race slicks. P/N 34112325C

325 Competition Brake Duct Kit

As used on our IMSA cars

A custom made front brake backing plate with sealing lip that precisely fits the inside of the brake rotor. Air is brought in from the front spoiler under pressure and forced into the center of the rotor and out through the vent holes. Provides superior cooling under hard use. Kit includes backing plates only due to variations in front spoiler type (we can supply the other needed components-call us with your needs) Requires R & R of wheel hubs for installation. P/N 345130RACE  (pair)

P/N DUCTHOSE 6 ft. 3.0" diameter brake ducting hose

P/N 3451106A  5”x9” universal air duct, black ABS, 2 required

Low Cost Brake Duct Kit

Our competition kit above is hand matched to each customer’s exact rotor configuration, stock or oversize, for best sealing and cooling.  These lower cost, all purpose volume production run ducts do not cool as well as but the low cost makes them popular for many who just need some moderate cooling improvement and can get by with less than the full race cooling effectiveness.  More $=more cooling. Less $=less cooling.  These are very popular and have been sufficient for many customers.                                      P/N 34130E30

Ferodo Premier Brake Pads

With extensive research , development and testing Ferodo varies their pad materials for the variations in braking systems and loads of different cars.  Thus a Premier pad for a 318 may be quite different than the Premier formulation for a 540.  They are fully ABS compatible, minimize brake noise, minimum bedding-in period, fade resistant, and provide reduced disc wear.  An “always there for you” pad for hard street and highway driving.

Korman High Performance Brake Pads

Developed for use in our IMSA 325's. Good enough to win both the drivers and the manufacturers IMSA Sport Class Endurance Championships. This pad material is a non-asbestos graphite/metallic formulation. Unlike some racing materials that work well only when hot, the broad coefficient of friction of these pads also enable them to work well under cool, light braking conditions. They are therefore ideal dual purpose pads for both street and club events.

Hawk Racing Brake Pads

• BLUE compound for full race applications

• HT10 Race Compound-Intermediate to high torque with a smooth initial bite, excellent modulation, consistent pedal and good release characteristics.  Very rotor friendly, even on heavier cars.

Korman High Performance Rear Brake Shoes-318i

Try these shoes first! Carbon-Kevlar friction material yields performance rivaling disc brakes at a fraction of the cost. Excellent upgrade for street driven cars, essential for track use.     P/N 34213228          

Ate Power Disc Rotors

• computer designed pattern for optimal performance
• reduced fading
• reduced stopping distances
• reduced brake noise
• high performance at about the same price as a stock rotor!

318, 325 P/N 3411P154749

Korman High Performance Brake Rotors

Available in either a computer controlled cross-drilled version with the holes chamfered to the wear limit, or in a computer controlled gas slotted version with the gas ports milled to the wear limit. Our rotors are then finish plated with cadmium. While nothing beats the appearance of crossdrilled rotors, we suggest using the gas slotted versions for true high performance and track use due to superior wear rates and brake cooling.                                                                          

Front-all E30 (except 318i M10) P/N 3411D154749

Rear-all E30 (except 318i M10) P/N 3421D119581

(318i M10 Korman Front Rotors available by special order)

Stainless Steel/Teflon Brake Lines

Essential for driving schools and highly recommended for all high performance driving. Provides stronger pedal, improved modulation under hard brake usage. Eliminates expansion associated with rubber lines. Kit includes a full set of 6 lines.  DOT approved.

Super Blue & Type 200 Racing Brake Fluid

Non-silicone high performance dot 4 brake fluids designed for the extreme demands of motor racing, yet perfectly suited for street applications.   Dry boiling point 536ºF, Wet Boiling Point 392ºF, 1 liter cans.     P/N SUPER BLUE  (blue fluid)   (Type 200 is a yellow/clear version of Super Blue)  P/N TYPE200
