After four years into my track build, I finally upgraded my rear brakes to a 4 Piston Brembo from a Porsche 996. The 996 brake upgrade is a tried and true setup that many enthusiasts have run for years. I should have done it sooner!

I see you also aquired a QuickJack lift. I absolutely LOVE mine. I used a small piece of velcro and inserted it inside the rubber jack pad on the car, and then placed the mating piece of velcro to the insert portion of the jack pad puck. That seems to work wonders as I'm getting the blocks and QuickJack into place for lifting. Great vid!

Bought two fronts for $150 each. Gonna cnc a bracket and throw it on a civic.

I have a 328ci and I think the diameter of the rotor is 300mm of how many it must be to install those brake calipers?

Anyone know if this would work for the E9X chassi? I think e9x and e46 are pretty similar?

I plan on installing these on the weekend. How do you like them so far? Are they loud at all? They’ll just be for street use (for me).

Hi what kind of rotors are you using?

Anyone know the part no for the calipers?

So when doing this conversion we can use the same e46 rotor and brakes?

Curious to hear your feedback on brake balance. I've had nothing but trouble with rear BBKs, at one point moving the balance so far back the car was almost undriveable, let alone being able to trail brake. Switching bad compounds around made no difference, just burning up the rears.

I thought i just didnt bleed my brakes enough, was the pedal travel long?

@SeanS54 3 жыл бұрын

According to Build Journal's Brake Bias chart it should be just as good as OEM. I'm going to the track next weekend 10/10 so I'll know then. :-)

Front brakes not upgraded?… Im doing mine and apparently I need to shave 5.5mm from the mounting boss of the caliper. Wondering if anyone else has done this

Thanks for show the number for the front brake pad kit. But is the number for the rear?

@mrgizmo7975 2 жыл бұрын

That number with 0737 is for his rear kit. It is an FMSI D737 pad shape.

can i install 996 caliper on my e36 for the rear brake ??

@SeanS54 3 жыл бұрын

Rally Roads makes brake caliper brackets for the E36 so I believe so. rallyroad.net/collections/e36

Do you lose the functionality of the brake pad sensor ?

@SeanS54 3 жыл бұрын

Yes because it's a retrofit. However, someone spliced the wires to make it work like OEM but I chose not to do so. It's good practice to check your brake pads every now and then and not rely on the pad sensor.
