Get a sharper, more confident brake feel with the EBC BSD552 Slotted Brake Discs, built for the front axle. Designed to match the spirited driving of BMW’s 3-Series E36 and the Z3 Roadster, these discs strike that rare balance between daily comfort and serious performance. You’ll notice the difference right away—less noise, less judder, and smooth, predictable stops even when you’re pushing your car harder than usual.

What makes them stand out? It’s the high carbon cast iron, blended with extra silicone to handle heat like a pro. These rotors shrug off stress where cheaper ones might crack or warp. They’re slotted, not drilled—so they manage heat without weakening the structure. That means longer life, stronger bite, and a better pedal feel across the board.

Honestly, if you’ve ever had brakes fade mid-corner or felt that vague, floaty pedal under load, you’ll know why people swap to BSDs. Just a heads-up: they need about 500 miles to bed in properly—urban miles are best. But once that’s done, they’re ready for just about anything you throw at them.

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.

  • Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content.  Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
  • Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
  • Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
  • Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
