Porsche 996 Brake Upgrade - BMW E46 M3

[@pjbenn901]

So glad we’re getting more E46 m3 content from this channel! My go to channel for this. Your shifter video was a huge help for when I recently did mine

[@SeanS54]

Thanks!

[@stymiesnerdly771]

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!

[@SeanS54]

Yup, I love the QJ.

[@albertj2459]

Great job on the step by step instructions.

[@SeanS54]

Thanks Albert

[@s.a.i.v]

[@SeanS54]

Thanks!

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

[@Nappepappe]

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

[@AlexisJavier18]

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?

[@GenoFoster]

niceee, looks good and I'm sure will make a pretty good difference

[@SeanS54]

Brake pedal already feels better. Going to the track next weekend so I'll know for sure.

[@LochyP]

Oh my god. £12 for those anti rattle clips. Wish I'd seen this video before i paid 4x that from porsche.

[@destinationeuphoriaselfdev2089]

This video is fantastic thanks man. What calipers are you running upfront please

[@PenguinScotty]

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.

[@lulslime3055]

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

[@SeanS54]

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. :-)

[@fitz1969]

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

[@mrgizmo7975]

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

[@Slvr_Grey_M3]

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).

[@mro4ts457]

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

[@goodlobster]

Whats your from fender vents? Link pls

[@dcarz7310]

Hi what kind of rotors are you using?

[@babbarjaleel6096]

Anyone know the part no for the calipers?

[@Zalle335]

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

[@FCABA19]

What about the emergency brake?

[@mrgizmo7975]

E46 has a separate cable operated lever for parking brakes, indep of the caliper. You use the same stock rotor with this caliper kit.

[@richardfalco4776]

Do you lose the functionality of the brake pad sensor ?

[@SeanS54]

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.

[@Gene88.]

Do they fit the front on the e46?

[@LimpMode]

If want to use 996 brakes do I need a different proportioning valve?

[@LochyP]

Good question. The 996 brake bias is very similar to e46 m3.

[@LimpMode]

@@LochyP Thankyou!

[@movtc6622]

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

[@SeanS54]

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

[@michaelli7381]

Forgot to add stickers on the calipers that can give you +5hp!

[@SeanS54]

Added them after this video. :-)
