Ok, I am pretty excited to finally post about the latest Rotora brake developments. For about 18 months they have been promising me a new state of the art caliper that would be able to cross over for street or track. Looking at the best that the established company's had to offer, Rotora took a swing at making something very close in spec at a fraction of the price - I think they hit a home run!

They are offering two different kits based typically on a 6P front and 4P rear, a Super Challenge and a Street Challenge.

Super Challenge:

Please feel free to ask any questions. These are available for just about any high performance car, so don't think it is BMW e46 only!

We are doing an install on a magazine car next week and will post some pics!

Thanks
brad

 

The Super Challenge looks pretty nice! Any details on pricing?

 

I cannot post pricing in this forum.

I will PM you.

thanks
brad

 

damn! very nice brakes

 

Can I get just the front caliper upgrade pricing for which ever one is better for stree/dd setup for e46 m3? Thanks

 

rotoras gone a long way. product looks top notch

 

Problem with Rotora is that you always had to use their brake pads as no one (hawk, PFC, etc.) makes a pad in their caliper size. Is that the same with these new brakes?
Thanks,
Evan

 

Evan,

That is not true for the old or the new calipers. We can and have been supplying pads for rotora calipers for years. Pagid, PFC, Raybestos, etc.

You just need to buy them from a dealer who knows the product.

Thanks
Brad

 

Anything for the E60 ///M Brad?

 

Hey Brad,
I appologize then, that is what my Rotora distributor told me when I called for customers and that is why I never wanted a set personally... I'll shoot you a PM on these!
Thanks,
Evan

 

can i get a pm on pricing for both kits for a E46 M3? thanks

 

Yes, a few kits, but not this new caliper. Are you looking for a street or track kit?

done!

thanks
Brad

 

Hi Brad,

me too please.

 

Strictly street use.

 

Also interested in the pricing of the full brake system (for both kits) as well as what would be the major differences between them...

Thanks,
D.
