X-Series 1998-02 4th Gen Camaro / Firebird Medium Duty F3X 4 Piston caliper Front Drag Brake Kit

Medium Duty Drag Racing brake kits are the latest release from TBM brakes in its drag racing line. These brakes are the perfect balance of lightweight brakes with incredible stopping power that are up to the task of stopping heavier cars as well as high demand/high heat applications such as stock/super stock and bracket racing vehicles that do not tend to use a parachute and utilize the brakes more than a typical heads up car or vehicle that uses the parachute every pass. Thanks to a .380" thick Revolution rotor and F3 4 piston no drag technology caliper, these brakes are up to the task for the most extreme uses in drag racing!

Lighter. Stronger. Smarter. Built for Ultimate Performance.

TBM’s brand-new X-Series Drag Brakes represent the latest update and addition to a legacy of industry-leading stopping power. Designed for racers who demand unmatched performance and stopping power paired with minimal weight, the X-Series brings a new look, even more weight savings, and more. These new brake kits come with all components black anodized throughout and will continue to be paired with our Revolution steel top fuel alloy rotors as well as new carbon rotor offering.

Precision-Engineered Calipers for Maximum Strength

The DR1X, F1X, and F3X calipers launch this new platform with a full 7075 billet Aluminum construction. This material delivers exceptional strength and durability that meet the high strength and performance standards TBM customers expect from our traditional forged calipers. Every X-series caliper is finished with our proprietary hard coat black anodizing process for a sleek, ultra-durable true-black appearance.

All-New High-Performance Brake Pad Compound

After more than a year of testing across nearly every drag-racing discipline, we’re proud to introduce our newest pad compound. Racers consistently report:

• Better high-temperature performance than our best-selling #1 compound
  
• Similar pedal feel and stopping power to #1 compound
  
• Dramatically longer pad life thanks to an elevated thermal ceiling and normal operating temperature wear characteristics.
  

Each pad is now built on a true pin-retained backing plate, ensuring secure, consistent performance run after run.

F3X Rear Calipers: Stronger Than Ever

Our updated F3X rear caliper takes performance a step further, featuring a one-piece 4140 billet CNC-machined center section for increased rigidity and reliability. Also featuring New CNC-machined 7075 aluminum coated 1.75” pistons that offer corrosion resistance, extended wear life, and nearly one pound of total weight savings per pair. This brings a huge advantage to a system already known as the lightest, and most capable on the market.

Please use red loctite on all rotor bolts

**Brake Lines NOT Included**

To connect your TBM brakes to the factory brake lines please use our vehicle specific brake lines listed HERE

We recommend using TBM DOT 5.1 Extreme 6 Brake Fluid for all TBM Brake Kits. You'll need at least 4 (12 oz) bottles of fluid when building and plumbing a new system that is empty. 

Note: This Kit retains usage of factory ABS functionality, however, we do not recommend utilizing ABS braking functionality with racing brakes as it may cause unpredictable or negative effects on braking performance that can cause inadequate braking and premature pad/rotor wear. 

This kit fits the following:

• 1998-02 Camaro (All Models)
  
• 1998-02 Firebird / Trans Am / Firehawk (All Models)
