EBC Racing Front Titanium Brake Pad Shim Kit for 2007-2013 BMW M3 (E90/E92/E93) 4.0L
The EBC Racing SH1449 Front Titanium Brake Pad Shim Kit is a high-performance upgrade engineered specifically for the 2007-2013 BMW M3 (E90 sedan, E92 coupe, E93 convertible) with the 4.0L S65 V8 engine. These precision-machined perforated titanium shims replace the factory anti-rattle shims to dramatically reduce heat transfer to the caliper, eliminate brake squeal, and provide more consistent braking under extreme conditions. Ideal for track days, aggressive street driving, or anyone seeking quieter, fade-resistant performance from their M3’s big brakes.
