Description
Front brake upgrade StopTech 08-13 BMW M3/11-12 1M Coupe Front BBK delivers shorter stopping distances and improved reliability under repeated use by combining stiffer calipers and larger rotors in a Balanced Brake Upgrades® package.
This StopTech front BBK is engineered to preserve factory brake bias while raising braking performance, giving drivers better modulation and reduced fade during aggressive street or track driving.
- Yellow ST-60 Calipers (stiffer StopTech calipers) — Increased stiffness reduces flex under load for more consistent pedal feel and precise modulation.
- Drilled 380x35mm Rotors (larger-than-stock 2-piece StopTech AeroRotors) — Larger diameter and two-piece construction improve heat capacity and thermal stability; drilled faces assist in gas and debris evacuation to help maintain contact under heavy braking.
- StopTech Street Performance Pads — Friction material selected to balance responsive initial bite with controllable modulation and reduced fade across repeated stops.
- Balanced Brake Upgrades® design — System-level engineering maintains factory bias, ensuring predictable ABS and stability control behavior without altering baseline vehicle dynamics.
Each component is matched within the StopTech system to work together: caliper rigidity, rotor thermal mass, and pad friction are calibrated to shorten stopping distances while preserving everyday drivability and pedal feel.
Technical specifications:
- Application: Front BBK for 08-13 BMW M3 and 11-12 1M Coupe
- Caliper: Yellow ST-60 StopTech calipers (stiffer design)
- Rotor: Drilled StopTech AeroRotor, 380 x 35 mm, 2-piece construction
