Alcon Brake kit , help needed

[Levente]

hi dear friends!

Could someone help me please? I bought the Alcon brake kit for my CSL last year. Does anyone have any Technical Data information for these brakes? All i got in the box was just the installation manual.

Thank you in advance

I find Alcon support good if you contact them.

They told me the E46 M3 front calliper was changed in 2013 as the original CSL cup spec had pistons that were too big with high roll back so there was too much dead travel on the pedal. They also told me the new spec was only available through Birds in the UK, no info about other countries though.

I'd agree with that - i've moaned elsewhere about the long travel but I'm used to it now. Gorilla suggested residual pressure valves but I didn't go that route in case they were too fierce.
