No special procedure required. I would suggest bleeding all four brakes and flushing your fluid out since you're already halfway there. After 35k miles, my fluid was starting to look a bit dark compared to fresh fluid.

that thing looks pretty slick. You've gotta get the rezzy adapter thing too though right? Makes it a big pricey vs. just having someone push the pedal lolNo special procedure required.

I used the AGM Brake Bleeder kit, which makes it incredibly easy to perform by yourself. You won't need someone applying pressure on the brakes while you bleed.

Bleed and flush brakes by yourself with AGM’s 3L Brake Pressure Bleeder. Uses controlled positive pressure and shop air for clean, consistent brake service.
Comboing off this which sucks because I had the Alcon Kit installed probably 10 minutes per side? lol then had to wait the next day to get my scan tool from my other tool box.
Ah, yeah, I forgot about that. I had to get the universal reservoir adapter. Even after one use, I felt like I got my money's worth when considering the convenience aspect and time saved. I've since used it on three TRXs, so I am a happy customer.
did you use a brake bleeder (if so which one) or did you just do the ole school pump method?
I believe you're correct, though I think the two companies are partnered or something along those lines. When I was buying rotors, DBA didn't sell them for my vette but KNS did.
Agreed, I always ran blanks or slots at most if I was running a REALLY aggressive compound. Cooling is key.
I think it's for the same reasons I listed above, people think it makes them better somehow, so BMW gives the people what they want.
Man, I've seen so many rotor failures around drilled holes it isn't funny. Sometimes on vehicles that aren't even abused on a track.
Yea i just watched the install/use vid and it looks pretty convenient. Any issues or tips you've acquired on usage? Did you fill the bleeder rezzy all the way to the top?
DBA are great people we supplied them with factory hellcat rotors so they could produce them.
If there is enough interest for them as an aftermarket option I can probably work with Paragon performance on having some rings whipped up. I'll get some dimensions taken and bolt pattern on the hat they may already have something off the shelf too.
It's really simple to use, just make sure you regulate the pressure to keep it within the same limits. They have a gauge on the brake bleeder to show you. You don't need any fancy compressor; a simple pancake compressor will do just fine. It does not need to be filled all the way up. I bought 3x 500 mL of DOT 4 fluid. That was more than enough to completely flush out the system and keep the brake fluid reservoir topped off.
Roger that. I've got a 20-gal comp so i'll prolly turn it down to the lowest setting. Did you just crack bleeders (1 at a time starting at farthest from fluid rezzy) and pump fluid until old crap came out or is there another step i'm missing possibly for our application?
Keep the info coming! I need new brakes
I get the ability to touch all kinds of cool parts, and I will say these give me the same wow factor as any other BBK I've opened. Printed color Instructions as soon as you open them which is rare in this world we live in full of QR codes lol. Parts look great.
