No offence, but if you believe your selling a product which is good value and customers should buy then providing a price is for YOUR benefit as the seller. If your not willing to put a price up for people to say wow that is cheap, I might be interested then I'm not going to chase down your website through a link to find out how much an item costs.. If its a good deal then you should be advertising your prices!!

I'm not going to say much more on this, but here's some facts to end on:

- Don't know what Fully Sik DTM Spec Bernard Tomic Edition M3 you Googled, but current model E92 M3's definitely do NOT have Ceramic brakes. They use traditional steel rotors, and normal pads. Through our 'Brakes Direct Prestige' subsidiary we sell stacks of them... In fact the M3 uses the same front pad as most of the 330 and 335 range, and most of the entry level 5 series, so it's definitely nothing fancy...

- The backing plate on an M3 pad, as measured just then off the shelf by me, is 5mm. Same as the vast majority of pads on the market. Some smaller pads use a 4mm, but 5 is pretty much the standard. Again, M3 brakes are nothing special.

- I know your calipers take an AP pad. As does Greddy, K Sport, G4, D2, H-Spec, and Stop Tech. Are you seriously trying to use the justification that because your calipers use AP shape pads they're as good as AP?

I've said my piece. Good luck with your special.

I'll leave that for you to test if you wish. I do know that KiDo brakes offer a massive upgrade to the braking capability of most cars. Of course there are exceptions, such as Porsche and most of the AMG range, both of whom use large multi-pistion calipers to support pads with large areas, the same approach KiDo use.

I like how you address none of what Greg said in relation to your outlandish call of the m3 having ceramic disks. (lol at that BTW)

As what has been said, more pistons dont equal better. Sad that you try to fight that with such sound "logic".

I quote direct from BMW:

Quote:
High-performance compound brake discs on the BMW M3 Sedan.

Developed and tested on the Nürburgring's Nordschleife: the high-performance compound brake discs fulfil the toughest of requirements on braking deceleration, durability, wet-weather performance and heat response - requirements usually only met by a sports car. These fully floating and perforated brakes react quickly and precisely, and thanks to the cross-drilled brake disc and partial use of aluminium, the system is incredibly lightweight. The result? A high-performance braking system for better everyday suitability.

So they may not be ceramic but they definitely don't use "normal steel rotors" as Greg said.
