EBC USR Disc & Pad Kit for BMW 3 Series, BMW Z3

A more satisfying brake upgrade for BMW 3 Series or Z3

Enjoy a more responsive brake setup with EBC fine-slotted USR discs and Yellowstuff or Bluestuff pads for BMW 3 Series, BMW Z3. This package covers the front axle, with the disc and pad references matched to the original brake configurations shown below.

Fine-slotted discs for a road-friendly upgrade

USR discs use fine slots to give you a sport disc with less groove-related wind noise than EBC's wider-grooved GD design. The discs and performance pads are supplied together for the stated axle, making this a useful upgrade when you want more pad bite while retaining the correct factory brake layout.

A protective finish for the discs

The Thermic anti-corrosion coating protects the discs before fitting and helps keep the non-contact areas protected in use. The pads sweep the working faces as the brakes bed in. Caliper lubricant is supplied with the kit for the appropriate fitting points.

Choose the kit for your brakes

1. Find your exact model, engine and year in the fitment table, then match any original brake-package notes or measurements.
2. Match the disc size and pad reference to the brakes fitted to your car.
3. Choose from the pad compounds offered for that application. Each fitment row identifies the eligible kit codes.

Which pad compound suits you?

Yellowstuff: We recommend Yellowstuff for fast-road use, with strong cold bite and a high-friction feel. It is the road-focused choice here. EBC no longer recommends Yellowstuff for track use on most cars because of its longer bedding process.

Bluestuff: Bluestuff is the choice for drivers who also want to enjoy short track sessions. It bites from cold once bedded and offers a higher heat margin than Yellowstuff. Bed it correctly before track use and check remaining pad material frequently during a track day.

Vehicle fitment

Match your model, engine, year and original brake specification to an eligible kit code below. Brake-package notes and measurements are part of the fitment.

The engine-output figures describe the original vehicle in BHP; they are not a power gain from the brake kit.

These kits match the original brake configurations shown in the fitment table. If your car already has different calipers or discs, tell us what's fitted so we can help you choose the right parts.

Fitting and bedding in

Professional fitting is recommended. Follow the fitting and bedding instructions for the supplied parts, and allow the pads to bed correctly before demanding full braking performance. The condition and operation of the calipers, hubs and other braking components also matter to the finished result.

For Bluestuff track use, bed the pads on the road first and inspect pad wear every ten laps, as EBC recommends for its USR/Bluestuff kits. Plan enough remaining pad material for the journey home.
