Ultra-high performance braking system
http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/ALCON/images/HEADER_01.gif
World-class Alcon components, designed by UUC.
Designed for the most demanding driver in racing or street use.
NOW AVAILABLE FOR ALL 2001-2007 E46 M3, including Competition Package and CSL:
6-piston monobloc front, 345mm rotor / 4-piston rear, 328mm rotor kits: Supplied with BMW Motorsport floating rotors.
http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/ALCON/images/ALCON6_DETAILS.jpg
(1) Alcon aerospace alloy aluminum 6-piston monobloc calipers, staggered piston sizes. Color choices: red or matte gray.
(2) BMW Motorsport floating rotors, 345mm x 28mm.
(3) Hawk Performance Ceramic brake pads (street use). Race pad substitution available.
(4) Mil-spec heat treated stainless steel alloy radial mount brackets.
(5) DOT-compliant stainless steel braided/plastic covered brake lines. Matching rear lines included.
(6) Mounting hardware, all metric grade 12.9.
The design of these kits allows for scalable rotor use. Primarily, UUC specs the kits to use genuine BMW Motorsport rotors as provided with the M3 Competition or the European M3 CSL which feature a true radial floating mechanism for free thermal expansion of the disk unhindered by the center hat. The system is scalable in that oversized and thicker rotors will be available for future use.
Working directly with Alcon, all calipers used by UUC for the BMW fitments are custom-built "bespoke" components, specifically designed to retain perfect brake bias and a firm pedal.

Alcon is a name synonymous with the manufacture and supply of high specification brakes and clutches for motorsport and high performance road vehicles.
In the world of motorsport, Alcon a Technical Partner to the Honda F1 Racing Team, supplying brake calipers of a patented design; while co-operating with a number of other teams to develop the next generation of F1 braking systems. Alcon also provided all the brake hardware to support Citroën's dominance of the World Rally Championship [WRC] in recent years. In the US, the 2003, 2004, and 2005 IRL titles have all been won using Alcon brakes, and Alcon product is specified as mandatory for the hard-braking road course races. In the world of NASCAR, Alcon counts Penske, Hendrick Motorsport and Ray Evernham Motorsport amongst their front-running customers; while a new partnership with friction manufacturer, Raybestos in 2006, is making the use of Alcon designed and manufactured brake components still more widespread in the top stock car series.
In addition the motorsport departments within Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda (Dome), Peugeot, Renault and Volkswagen count amongst their many customers.
In the field of specialist and performance road cars Alcon serves an impressive list of prestigious road car manufacturers, including Aston Martin, Brabus, Jaguar, Land Rover, Porsche and Prodrive. In this field too, their reputation for technology and innovation is highly visible, no more so than the calipers for the 2006 Bentley Continental GT Diamond Series, vast but lightweight 8-piston calipers designed specifically to clamp the world's largest road car brake discs, ceramic items of 420mm diameter. Ultra-high performance resides in the level of quality... quality in engineering, materials and kit fitment. Alcon designs and manufactures every caliper in-house and the resulting component is superior to virtually any similar offering. Alcon calipers are incredibly stiff due to their cast-in reinforcement buttresses.
Their progressive design philosophy continues with the pistons and seals. The ultra-resilient internal pressure seals minimize piston retraction so that pedal travel is short, consistent and they are resistant to knock-back. More pics:
