Cool Carbon Performance Brake Pads  |
| Cool Carbon Performance establishes the new reference in performance braking for street/track and racing formulations. Both Cool Carbon compounds have been developed at German R&D facilities and have been tested extensively on the German autobahn. Cool Carbon Performance brake pads deliver true undiluted performance. |
|
| Street Performance/Track Tuned (S/T) - This compound is a higher friction level than OE, with much better torque and stopping capability. It is very stable, both cold and hot to temperatures exceeding 600 C (1112 F), due to a special "hollow" ceramic structure that exhibits excellent heat dissipation characteristics. Stainless steel noise shims, bonded to what is already a very quiet formula, ensure virtually no noise under all driving conditions. Improved pedal feel and significantly reduced dust can be expected. S/T compound features: excellent initial bite, consistent torque, stopping ability & temperature stability; very good fade resistance; long life, rotor friendly, low/no dust; virtually without noise; excellent for daily street use and with very good track performance.

TMS Carbon Brake Backing Plates |
| The TMS carbon brake backing plates are made of pure carbon and high temperature resin. Our unique design specifically for the E46 (and non-m Z4) is optimized for 3" hose and allows the air to flow directly to the rotor with no impedance, with a considerably lower weight than competing products. When flow tested compared to a competitor’s product, the TMS ducts flowed twice as much. This greatly reduces the chance of brake fade, boiling the brake fluid, and wear and tear on your brake components. Installation is easy, as it does not require removal of the wheel bearing. TMS does this by making the backing plate in two parts. The main backing plate and a block off plate that bolt together. Most companies just have a big slot so you can slide the backing plate on, but then it just lets air flow right out of it. We block off the hole to maximizing brake cooling airflow to the center of the rotor. |

TMS Brake Duct Hose Kit |
| If you are adding fully functional brake ducts to your track or race car, this hose kit is a must. It includes two 4 foot lengths of high-temp duct hose and 4 appropriate sized hose clamps. This is the same duct hose used in Turner Motorsport's championship winning BMW race cars. This is the best suited and highest quality hose for the job. |

Brass Caliper Bushings |
| These brass bushings replace the OE rubber bushings, reducing flex in the calipers, resulting in better contact of the pad against the rotor during hard braking. For performance use only. |

Brembo Gran Turismo Brake Kits |
Brembo's performance proven systems result in a substantial improvement in overall braking performance. Key attributes like shorter stopping distances, reduced brake fade, improved pedal feel, and perfect front to rear balance increase safety and build driver confidence.
Brembo's largest multi-piston calipers and 2 piece floating rotors reward even the most demanding driver with “Optimized Brake Balance” and maximum performance. Brembo engineered these systems to be lighter than original equipment brakes to improve steering response and handling characteristics. These traits, combined with increased stopping power and reduced brake fade, deliver truly unmatched performance. The confidence that comes from a Brembo brake upgrade delivers a whole new driving experience.
The Gran Turismo system’s level of technology and performance is unrivaled by any other product on the market. By utilizing larger calipers and discs, thermal capacity and brake torque is increased. This potent combination offers the extreme in Brembo’s leading edge technology for high performance street or track use applications.
Brembo Gran Turismo High Performance brake systems include:- Brembo 4 piston calipers with sequentially sized pistons; includes color choices of red, black or silver calipers
