Why Ghost Brakes

G11H18 vs G3000: Stronger metallurgy than OEM and cheap aftermarket rotors.
GEOMET, not zinc: G11H18 cannot take zinc — cheap drilled/slotted rotors are G3000 + zinc dressed up as an upgrade. GEOMET coating proves the metal underneath is better.
Cross-drilled & diamond-slotted: Real heat and bite benefit — not cosmetic drilling. Learn why both matter.
Lifetime warranty: Free US shipping. Lifetime coverage vs OEM's 90-day to 1-year replacement cycle.

"Running this brake kit on my 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT8 and it's a noticeable upgrade over stock. The 2-piece drilled and slotted rotors handle heat much better, especially during harder driving. Braking feels more consistent, with a firmer pedal and less fade. I mainly drive the car on the street but p…"

"Absolutely love this brake kit! Installed on my 2020 Dodge Challenger Hellcat and the stopping power is unreal. The drilled and slotted rotors keep temps down even on the track, and the performance pads give smooth, consistent braking. Best upgrade I've made for my Hellcat - feels like a race car ev…"

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to our most frequently asked questions. Have more questions? Check our complete FAQ page or contact us.

Will this brake kit fit my 2001–2006 BMW M3?

Yes - this Drilled Slotted Brake Kit is specifically engineered for the 2001–2006 BMW M3. It uses a direct OEM bolt-on fitment with your factory calipers. No modifications, drilling, or adapters required. If you need fitment confirmation for a specific submodel, contact us at 818-445-2389.

What's included in this BMW M3 brake kit?

This kit includes front and rear drilled slotted rotors precision-cast from G11H18 high-carbon iron, plus Carbon Ceramic brake pads. Available as a Full Kit, Front Kit, or Rear Kit depending on your needs.

Are these rotors good for track driving in a M3?

Yes. The drilled and diamond-slotted design channels heat, gas, and brake dust away from the pad surface - critical for sustained braking under performance conditions. G11H18 high-carbon iron provides the heat absorption needed to prevent fade on hard-driving vehicles like the M3.

Do I need to replace my calipers on the 2001–2006 BMW M3?

No. This kit is precision-machined to work directly with your factory OEM calipers on the 2001–2006 BMW M3. Bolt-on installation - no caliper replacement, brackets, or spacers needed.

How long will these rotors last compared to OEM?

Ghost Brakes are cast from G11H18 high-carbon iron - a spec that outperforms standard G25 OEM iron in hardness, heat resistance, and wear resistance. Under normal driving conditions you can expect 60,000–80,000+ miles. Aggressive track or towing use will reduce that, but still significantly outlasts economy replacements. Backed by a Lifetime Warranty.

Can I install this brake kit myself?

Yes. If you're comfortable with basic automotive work - lifting the car, removing wheels, and unbolting brake components - this is a straightforward install. No cutting, welding, or custom fabrication required. See our Brake Rotor Break-In Procedure guide for post-install bedding instructions.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes. Slyde Over offers FREE shipping on all orders within the Continental United States. Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or international locations may require additional charges.

See Shipping Policy for full details.

How long does shipping take?

Typical delivery times: California: 1–2 business days, West Coast: 2–4 business days, Nationwide: 3–7 business days. Tracking is provided once shipped.

Do Ghost Brakes come with a warranty?

Yes. Every Ghost Brakes kit includes a Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects - covering material or manufacturing failures under normal driving conditions.

See Warranty Policy for full details.

Are Ghost Brakes better than OEM rotors?

Yes. Ghost Brakes 1-piece drilled and slotted rotors are cast to G11H18 metallurgy standard; 2-piece floating rotors are cast to G3500 metallurgy standard - both GEOMET® coated. OEM and budget aftermarket rotors typically use G3000 iron with zinc coating, which has lower heat absorption, higher warp tendency, and inferior corrosion resistance. The upgrade in metallurgy and coating spec is the primary reason Ghost Brakes last longer and perform more consistently than factory replacements.
