Pagid RS19 Brake Pads

Brakes are always a problem for BMW it seems, the E46 M3 brakes were dreadful and whilst the E92 M3 ones are better they are still woeful when you consider the kind of car the M3 is. AP Racing, Alcon, Brembo and others have brakes kit now available for the E92 but with these costing upwards of £4,000 we wanted to try a more cost effective upgrade for those with less extreme requirements. We are able to supply the Pagid RS19 brake pad for the E90/E92/E93 M3.
 Earls Braided Brake Hoses  Pagid Trackday / Race Pads On standard pads the fade comes in relatively early and they don’t inspire confidence, whilst pads alone are not going to create a dramatic effect the extra confidence they inspire means it is an extremely effective upgrade for not much more money than the relatively poor OEM pads. The only downside with these pads is that if they're not taken through heat cycles regularly they may start squealing. |

So, you’ve tried better pads, you’ve tried better hoses but still not enough? Not surprised, the E92 is a big old lump and we’ve found that for spirited driving or any real time on track pads and hoses are not going to cut it so now we get to the real upgrade options – brake kits.
 AP Racing Big Brake Kit Front  AP Racing Big Brake Kit Rear  AP Racing Kits are available in Red or Black What are they like? Bloody amazing is the answer. Milton Keynes is one of the best places to test cars for brakes and handling (we love roundabouts) and the improvement in braking generally is a revelation, smooth progressive use generates no fade whatsoever and braking can be left later and later with complete confidence. Aggressive braking manoevers come down to how brave you feel such is the huge increase in confidence they offer.
Most impressive is the overall feel, its almost as you can feel the disk pass through the calliper in use, its very tactile in use and really connects you to the road, all this improves the cars feel and confidence on what you can do with it. Torque balance is perfect (front and rear balance) and whilst there is always some dive at the front – you cant change the laws of physics the car brakes very level allowing extensive use of trail braking. As an upgrade to the AP Racing Brake Kit we can offer Pagid RS29 brake pads for an additional £215.00. They are available for purchase through our online store. |
