{"product_id":"brembo-big-brake-kit-bmw-e36-m3","title":"Brembo Big Brake Kits for BMW E36 M3 (1995-1999)","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery Brembo big brake kit we offer for the 1995-1999 BMW M3 (E36) is on this page, front and rear. Up front you can choose GT 4-piston kits on 332mm or 355mm discs, a GT 6-piston kit on 355mm discs, or a PISTA 6-piston race kit. At the rear there is a GT 4-piston kit and a PISTA 4-piston kit, both on 328mm discs. The E36 M3 is a track-day and club-racing staple, and its factory brakes are small for the speeds these cars now run. A Brembo system replaces the caliper and disc on the axle you choose with a matched caliper, disc and pad package, sold as a complete axle set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrembo lists every kit for the E36 M3 sedan, coupe and convertible. Please read the notes for the front GT kits. On 1995 models, Brembo says a minor modification to the lower control arm, outboard of the ball joint, is needed. The 332mm kit also requires modification to the OEM steering knuckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee also: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/brembo-big-brake-kit-bmw-e36-3-series\" style=\"color:#d12442;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eBMW E36 3 Series Brembo kits\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/brembo-big-brake-kit-bmw-e46-m3\" style=\"color:#d12442;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eBMW E46 M3 Brembo kits\u003c\/a\u003e.
