BRASS BRAKE ATE CALIPER GUIDE BUSHING SET (E30,E36,E46,E92)
WHAT ARE BRASS ATE CALIPER GUIDE BUSHINGS?
Are your BMW brake pads wearing unevenly? Is your brake pedal starting to feel sloppy and unpredictable? Have the rubber bushings that guide your pin ever been changed? If not, then your caliper might be twisting! The stock rubber bushings allow for deflection - even more so when they are worn, which leads to uneven pad wear and rotor deposits when pushed to the limits. The last thing you need failing on your E30, E36, E46, E92, or any car for that matter are the brakes; most people underestimate the sheer importance of braking power on the track or autoX: The irony, braking power equals better track times for your little beemer!
Our brass guide bushings eliminate caliper twisting caused by rubber guide pin bushings. This brass bushing kit includes machined tight tolerance brass guide bushings and retaining clips that will allow your calipers to squeeze evenly on both sides of the brake rotor (similar to the way expensive multi-piston big brake kits squeeze evenly on both sides). An absolute must "while-your-at-it" when doing the brakes. Upgrading the bushings to brass (Only fits ATE calipers) will result in much longer pad life and more consistent brake pedal feel. These are a must if you race your BMW.
This kit is SCCA and BMW CCA Club Racing approved. This brass brake bushing kit fits both the front or rear calipers (but sold per axle). The ideal set-up is to run both front and rear on your car. If the brakes on your E30, E36, E46, E92, or any of the other BMW's listed below start acting up, the diagnostic could very well be that the caliper is twisting, which is caused by OEM rubber guide pin bushings. Our Brass Brake ATE Caliper Guide Bushing Set would be an excellent combo with our stainless steel brake lines!
HOW HARD IS IT TO INSTALL A SET OF BMW BRASS BRAKE ATE CALIPER BUSHING GUIDES?
Installation for our brass brake bushing set is quite simple. They fit all front and rear BMW factory sliding single calipers made by ATE. Set of four; enough to do 2 calipers. So if you want to do front and rear, order 2 kits. This will require periodic lubrication.
