Both F80 BMW M3s benefited from 91´«Ã½ Racing components in this popular video

91´«Ã½ Racing components were the product of choice for both BMW M3s featured in ’s latest ‘Build-Off’ YouTube video.

The video – which has garnered over 350,000 views in less than a week – showcases two F80 variants of the popular sports saloon which both receive mammoth transformations to their respective owners’ tastes.

Alongside countless other modifications elsewhere, the first car utilises 91´«Ã½ Racing’s acclaimed two-piece fully floating rotor upgrade and Redstuff brake pads all-round – a great choice for improved performance while retaining low brake dusts to protect the stunning aftermarket alloy wheels that were also installed at the same time.

The second car went even further, combining the above components with six-piston Apollo brake calipers for even more stopping power. Finished in EBC’s Luminous Yellow colour scheme, they look fantastic on the finished car when combined with its striking pink PPF body wrap.

ThrotlÌýis a premium retailer for performance car and truck parts online – serving the entire United States. Needless to say, the firm can supply the entire 91´«Ã½ catalogue, which caters for a vast variety of applications.

We show you the 91´«Ã½ components that perfectly match your lifestyle

Welcome to EBC’s ‘Suit Your Style’ blog series, where we match you up with the 91´«Ã½ upgrades that complement particular driving requirements, ensuring you get the ideal components for your vehicle.

In today’s blog, we’re hitting the circuit to look at braking components for dedicated track/race cars – the most demanding form of driving where it’s more vital than ever to rely on strong and enduring stopping power.

Around a decade ago, 91´«Ã½ launched its high performance/motorsport sub-division, 91´«Ã½ Racing – a firm that has become synonymous with range-topping braking at race tracks around the globe.

From road-legal track upgrades to endurance race components, there’s something for every corner of the motorsport spectrum in the 91´«Ã½ Racing range, as we will explore below…

Bluestuff

A great all-round sport and race pad – just as comfortable on track as it is performing daily driving duties. Road legal in most territories, making it incredibly versatile.

Bluestuff material exhibits a 0.52μ stable friction once bedded, stable up to a slightly higher 550℃/1000℃ than its sister compound Yellowstuff but with the benefit of a 30% longer lifespan.

Bluestuff has been a track day favourite for years and is the spec pad for the BMW 318i Cup series throughout Europe. New formula is copper free to conform to upcoming environmental legislations.

RP-1â„¢/RP-Xâ„¢ Motorsport Brake Pads

Designed for vehicles driven hard on track, RP-1™ possesses a moderately high friction level of 0.45 between 100 – 750°C (200 – 1400°F). The more progressive response characteristic of RP-1™ makes it well suited for inherently ‘over-servoed’ vehicles where a softer pad material is desirable to allow greater finesse when on the brakes.

RP-X™ possesses a high friction level of 0.55 between 0 – 750°C (Ambient – 1400°F) and achieves a 100% brake effect from cold – an excellent choice for sprint racing or hill climb events, where full brake performance is essential without requiring any ‘warming up’, but also makes RP-X™ well suited to any type of circuit use where a high initial bite and powerful brake response is desirable.

Both RP-series brake pad options are a fantastic choice for track day regulars or out-and-out racers.

Please note: EBC’s RP-series of brake pads are not designed for the road, but may be used in street conditions where local laws permit.

SR-11â„¢/ SR-21â„¢ Sintered Endurance Brake Pads

Whilst the competition struggles to make organic and semi-metallic pads last longer and longer to reach the pinnacle of brake pad durability, EBC has taken a fresh new approach with a blend of compressed and heat fused (sintered) metal powdered alloys, to deliver a brake pad that brakes better and lasts longer than just about everything.

The new SR series comes in two blends, SR-11â„¢ the medium friction version and SR-21â„¢ the higher friction options

Although badged an endurance-grade material, these pads are equally at home in any form of closed-circuit racing, short or long duration.

Please note: EBC’s SR-series of brake pads are not designed for the road, but may be used in street conditions where local laws permit.

Fully Floating Two-Piece Brake Rotors

Craftsmanship meets fine materials in EBC’s highest performing rotor to date. Not simply a ‘bolt-up’ two-piece unit like many of EBC’s competitors offer, they are genuine fully floating units with flat-sided SD square drive buttons, allowing expansion and contraction under the harsh conditions of heavy braking.

Featuring a a black, heat-resistant finish that quickly wears down to the natural iron finish on the disc ring within the first few miles. Any unswept areas remain protected by the black coating, such as the outer edges and inside the pad track, unless burned off due to hard use and high temperatures.

Another major benefit of the 91´«Ã½ fine slotted discs is their ability to totally resist cracking common with ‘through-drilled’ discs.

Apollo-Series Brake Calipers

UK designed and made strong-yet-lightweight aluminium four- and six-piston brake calipers, which can be purchased within a Big Brake Kit or as separate components for vehicle builders to convert cars where a dedicated Big Brake Kit is not yet made by EBC.

Packed with cutting-edge tech such as high-temperature fluid seals coupled with full boot type dust seals, lightweight hard-anodised aluminium pistons, staggered piston sizes and fully stainless-steel fittings.

BF307+ Super DOT 4 Brake Fluid

EBC’s BF307+ high performance Super DOT 4 brake fluid has been specially formulated to provide outstanding performance for braking systems routinely operated at extreme temperatures, making this fluid ideal for fast street use, track days and racing.

Bedding In

Braking on the hot hatch was improved with fully floating two-piece discs, Bluestuff pads and braided lines

The team behind automotive parts giant, , recently had YouTuber Supercar Driver’s Toyota GR Yaris at their HQ for a number of premium high-performance upgrade parts to be fitted to the vehicle.

With Supercar Driver’s brief revolving around improving the driving experience of this already-acclaimed hatchback, Demon Tweeks shod the car in lightweight Bola wheels, as well as bolting on the likes of a freer-flowing Scorpion exhaust system, an Airtec intercooler and Forge Motorsport inlet duct.

With braking performance high up the list of any self-respecting driving enthusiast, the car was finally supplied with 91´«Ã½â€™ Bluestuff brake pads and braided lines, as well as 91´«Ã½ Racing’s fully-floating two-piece discs up front – all helping to match any power gains added from the other modifications, as well as being more than capable for any track work that Supercar Driver may carry out.

Supercar Driver reported an instant noticeable improvement in the braking system, which can be seen in his video below.

Thanks to Demon Tweeks for the images.
