Performance Friction ZR45 Caliper 355mm Big Brake Kit Front BMW E46 M3
4500.0003X
PFC's forged aluminum monobloc and bridge bolt calipers are incredibly lightweight and have superior stiffness for quicker actuation, increased pedal response, less pedal travel, and decreased drag. The race-inspired radial mount improves torque takeout, allowing your car to optimize every ounce of horsepower and deliver more power at the wheel end. PFC’s patented piston heat caps allow the caliper the caliper to achieve the coolest running temperatures—up to 50-100°F— which further increases stiffness and decreases drag.
Z Rated Pads for Street Use Included in scope of delivery. Choices for track pads are optional, see selection boxes below.

Description
PFC applies championship-winning race technology to the design and manufacturing of these high-performance calipers to give you a brake system that is track-worthy. The result is a stiffer, more responsive, and quicker modulating system that not only provides better drivability and handling, but also improved ABS response. So, for those who prefer the winding back roads, who crave corners, and live for those fast-paced hairpins, meet your new sidekick.
Benefits
Technology
Caliper
Performance Friction calipers all start life as a billet aluminum block, machined into a one-piece monobloc caliper. These are not the sand-cast calipers used by many other manufacturers and are therefore both lighter and stronger than anything on the general market.
Your choice of calipers:Z45 Front Caliper (4-Piston, 2-pad) - The Z45 caliper starts life as a PFC Monobloc, but in the final machining stages is cut in half - originally to meet rule requirements for GRAND-AM racing which required a 2-piece caliper. Caliper maintains incredible stiffness even with an open bridge due to oversized mil-spec fasteners and a structural bridge bar.
Calipers are anodized and then powdercoated black. Custom colors available with a 6-8 week lead time.
Kit also includes Z-Rated PFC performance pads and the required stainless brake line set.
This kit is vastly superior to de-contented kits for street and race applications made by other manufacturers.

Rotors
The Performance Friction rotors used in all kits are the newest V2 Direct Drive Rotors. Made from a precision casting, all external surfaces are machined to tolerances of 0.004", including the OD of the vein area that most manufacturers leave rough-cast. This is the only rotor that are mechanically, thermally, and dynamically balanced - meaning you will never warp them because they are balanced in all situations, all temperatures. New V2 hardware reduces weight an additional half pound from the already light V1 components. Front rotors are 323x32mm, rear are 321x20mm - properly sized to maximize performance and reduce weight commonly added with overkill kits.
Its not all about the size
Performance Friction calipers are not massive 6 or 8 piston calipers. Instead all PFC calipers are torque optimized for each vehicle. Ensuring you get the most of your setup and vehicle. More pistons do not always equal more stopping power.
