BMW E36 E46 DUAL CALIPER BRACKETS

The BMW E36 / E46 Dual Caliper Bracket Kit is a bolt-on rear brake adapter set designed to install an additional pair of rear brake calipers for a dedicated hydraulic handbrake system.

These steel dual caliper brackets allow a separate hydraulic handbrake circuit to be installed without modifying the original hydraulic service brake circuit, making them a practical upgrade for BMW drift cars and motorsport builds.

The adapters are designed to attach using the original rear brake mounting holes, eliminating the need for welding during bracket installation.

Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion protection, the brackets are supplied with the screws required for adapter installation.

Important: Installation requires removal of the ABS sensor. This modification may disable ABS functionality and affect other electronic braking or stability systems.

Key Features:

- Dual Rear Caliper Conversion – Allows installation of additional rear brake calipers.

- Independent Hydraulic Handbrake – Supports a dedicated hydraulic circuit separate from the original service brake system.

- Bolt-On Installation – Designed to use original rear brake mounting holes.

- No Welding Required – Brackets are secured mechanically.

- Steel Construction – Manufactured from steel for motorsport applications.

- Zinc-Plated Finish – Provides additional corrosion protection.

- Mounting Screws Included – Supplied with the screws required for bracket assembly.

- BMW E36 / E46 Compatibility – Designed for compatible non-M3 rear brake configurations.

- Drift and Motorsport Applications – Suitable for custom hydraulic handbrake installations.

Vehicle Compatibility:

- BMW E36 – 3 Series, compatible non-M3 models

- BMW E46 – 3 Series, compatible non-M3 models

Installation Information:

The brackets are designed to mount to the original rear brake mounting points, allowing an additional set of calipers to be installed for a separate hydraulic handbrake circuit.

The original service brake system can remain hydraulically independent when the additional calipers are correctly installed and connected to a dedicated handbrake circuit.

Installation requires removal of the ABS sensor. This may result in loss of ABS operation, warning lights and changes to other vehicle safety systems.

Before installation, verify brake disc compatibility, caliper alignment, carrier fitment and wheel clearance.

The kit includes the mounting screws required for bracket installation. Additional brake calipers, carriers, hydraulic lines and handbrake components may be required.

Important: This kit is intended for motorsport and custom brake conversions. Removal of ABS components may make the vehicle unsuitable for road use. Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive brake specialist.
