    E92 M3 pads and lines

    Hey guys, so I'm contemplating ordering aftermarket Pads, lines, and fluid to improve the car's braking during the occasional track events.

    My car is a daily driver so i wouldn't want something extreme...a bit of noise is ok but nothing to scare off the gf when she occasionally drives it :)

    2 questions:

    1- Would this upgrade improve the pedal feel and prolong use before fading during a track session?

    2- What pads would you recommend? brand and model plz


    Thanks,

      From experience, I've purchased the following on my previous E46 M3, and the outcome was unbelievable!

      - HAWK HP+ Ceramic Pads (Same Size as OEM)



      - R1Concepts Cross-Drilled Zinc Coated Rotors


      - Agency Power Stainless Steel Braided Lines








      The combination of all did a huge difference in stopping power. Also, the brake life did increase dramatically! My brakes, with all the track days and hard driving, did last for 80,000 kms. Rotors lasted for 100,000 kms. People underestimate the importance of having a good brake kit on your car. It is absolutely crucial for our cars to have good brakes.

          Update: got 4 new OEM rotors, Hawk HP+ pads, stoptech Stainless Steel Braided Lines and RBF 660 brake fluid....car stops like a dream but noisy as f****...I'm hoping the noise gets better when the new pads get bedded more and the rest of the new stuff settle in. i almost think twice before braking now :p

            Woooooohoooooooo !!!! This is the news I wanted to hear!

            Ramzi! There's a way of breaking in the carbon ceramics brakes btw. You need to brake moderately/harshly at 120kph 3to5 times to get them in the right fit.

            I suggest you do that, although you have driven a little bit on them.

                Hahaha I'm happy for you buddy! I gotta try it myself and see the difference as I'm still running stock ones.

                Was there huge price difference compared to stock parts?
