Product details

This GT-slotted front package uses red Superlite calipers for the qualified BMW M3 E36 and Z3 M Roadster. Spec-37 iron rotors measure 13.06 by 1.25 inches, with the exact wheel and spindle checks defined in DS495. Wilwood Engineering’s disc brake systems and components serve motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Bill Wood founded the company in 1977; it is based in Camarillo, California. Wilwood designs and manufactures brake rotors and calipers as well as master cylinders, valves, brake lines and fittings. Selecting compatible components is essential to the complete system.

Fitment & Compatibility

The confirmed applications are 1995–1999 BMW M3 E36 and 1998–2001 Z3 M Roadster with the 3.2-liter engine. This is not a general Z3 kit. Retain the original hubs and verify the factory spindle and brake configuration against the exact model entry.

Use DS495 to check bracket seating, caliper alignment and wheel clearance. Separate hose kit 220-8799 supplies the Wilwood-compatible hydraulic connections. The hat-hole clearance specification does not change the BMW hub bolt pattern.

Review the complete fitment table below before purchase, retaining the restrictions attached to the chosen vehicle.
