Hi,

What fluid Transfer do the Brembos
have in relation to say the std Calipers
or say the AP's which were both designed
with the E46 Pedal ratio /fluid transfer ?.

The E46 M3 master cylinder has a restrictor
in the rear system so when AP designed
the Fronts they retained the front to rear
ratio split v pedal ratio v fluid transfer
which is approx 70/30..

Alcon never got this right hence why you
have a different pedal feel etc.

As regards the weight of the calipers
check them weight differnce wet not
dry I think its more than your saying.

Rotational mass is irrelevent on the twisties
where cross plane weight transfer occurs
its down to unsprung weigh etc, so less
is better, and its in the twisties where
you sort the wheat from the chaff.

But hey just trying to understand.

Std CSL disc with a 4 Pot brembo would
stop justy as well, not sure wht you feel
the need to lug [no pun] those E9X M3
discs around ?.

As a tailnote on my E30 M3 with the CSL
engine reducing unsprung weigh was
important so much so that I ran 24
vane not 48 vane 28mm discs at 353mm diam
and saved over a kilo aside just on the
discs.

It all adds up.

The Gorilla.
