**Mark CSL** · 06-08-2009, 12:31 AM

Well i am a tight scot and the EBC redstuff do fine and not a lot of brake dust
i am trying the yellow pads this sat at knockhill i shall see if they are better
than the red pads

full set costs £122.00 Bargin

The DS2500 i had on were not worth the money

I have a set of the 3000 but not used them yet

I had EBC Red Stuff 'Ceramic' on my E36 Evo and they destroyed the discs in no time. The pads are fantastic when hot, hellishly hellish when cold, I mean, NO BRAKES! However, as mentioned they did destroy my standard discs, worth a pop though.

How much dose the CSL Cup Brake Kit cost?

scansp7 · 16-12-2016, 12:52 PM

Did anyone ever find out about the TÜV papers for the Alcon CSL Cup kit?

Imho still not a walk in the park to get them TÜV approved.

Best to ask Alcon directly.

Where are you from?

i have both kits.

Alcon weights 3.7kg each caliper (horror)
AP CP5555 weights 2.9kg (Painted)

AP cheaper than Brembo and Alcon and a lot of less unsprung weight.

The M3 E46 don't need more than 355mm anyways...

Also i got 380mm brembo discs and weights 10.XXkg each.

The 380mm brembo discs weight is 9.5kgs and not 10+.
What is the weight of the AP racing caliper with the pads ?

My brembo monoblocs with pads are 5.2 and I am pretty sure they are lighter than the AP racing with pads.

Alex, how you finding the Brembo's? I always wanted to get the 380mm versions on mine, i've got the 355mm Brembo GT BBK front and rear on mine and they are superb

**alexk** · 19-12-2016, 08:54 PM

I think they are great.
I don't have any complaints.
The caliper is exactly the same used for the E92 M3 GTS and E90 M3 CRT.

I would have preferred the 355mm version but it was not an option for me, as the 355mm does not have certification for road use, while the 380mm has.
