Big Brake Kits
New 13" diameter ventilated front rotors, aluminum hats, larger lightweight aluminum calipers and bigger brake pads give you nearly indestructible braking power. Polished adapter brackets and all necessary hardware are included. With these monsters up front, no change is needed in the rear except for matching pads. No wheel spacers required. Specify exact year and model when ordering. P/N 341123630R Korman 328/325/318 Competition Big Brake Kit Brings your 328/325/318 up to the same front braking capability as our M3 competition package above. This kit also includes a larger master cylinder and a complete M3 size 12" brake/rotor conversion at the rear. P/N 341123625R Korman Big Brake Kit 328/325/318 The potential for substantial increases in acceleration and top end speed of the 328, 325, 318iS and Ti models is so great, especially with turbocharging, that serious improvements in braking capacity must be considered. These kits are true bolt on units, no cutting or welding required. Some 16" wheels will give sufficient clearance for this kit, but it is designed to work with wheels 17" in diameter or larger.

Performance Brake Rotors
| BMW Motorsport Euro 3.2L M3
"Floating" Rotors These two piece floating rotors are lighter and transfer less heat to the bearing/hub assembly than the U.S. model one piece rotors, making them ideal for high performance applications. The rotor is made with dowel pins cast into the center opening, then the aluminum center hat is cast on the pins. Bolt on replacement for all U.S. spec E36 M3's. P/N 34112227737(L), P/N 34112227738 (R) Gas Slotting or Cross Drilling available at additional cost 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. |

High Performance Brake Pads
Ferodo 3410F Compound Brake Pads Developed as a non-asbestos street alternative. Formulated with metallic fibers and other inorganic substances that yield a high friction level with good resistance to fade and wear. This competition grade compound is completely suitable for normal street use as the friction level is affected very little by temperature. |
Hawk High Performance Disc Brake Pads
|
Korman High Performance Brake Pads Developed for use in our IMSA E30 M3'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. |
Endurance Racing Brake Pads Developed by BMW Motorsport specifically for endurance racing. Tested and proven on our IMSA Endurance Series M3 CSL and 328's. Nothing else comes close.

Brake Cooling
| Korman
Competition Brake Duct Kit
Special duct/hose assembly which allows cool air to be brought in from the front spoiler and routed to the back of the brake rotors . A unique backing plate then forces the incoming pressurized air through the center of the rotor and out through the vent ribs. Provides superior cooling under competiton conditions. Kit includes backing plates, reinforced duct hose and clamps. E36 325, 328 P/N 34517107 E36 M3 P/N 34517108 Brake duct kits for special applications (ie: big brake kits) also available, inquire. |
| Universal Intake Ducts For use with brake duct kits above. ABS plastic duct with 5"x9" Rectangular opening, 1/2" flange and offset 3" hose connection. Fits most front spoiler fog lamp openings, some cutting and fabrication required. P/N 3451106A |
Other Brake Components
| Stainless Steel Brake Caliper
Pistons Precision machined, the stainless steel transfers less heat to the brake fluid reducing the risk of fade. Sold in pairs. |
