Caliper and rotor design
The Alcon CAR98 Mono 4 calipers work with Paragon two-piece iron rotors and application-specific mounting brackets. The Alcon CAR98 design is a four-piston monobloc caliper. This rear kit uses fixed-hat, non-floating rotors.
What is included
- Two Alcon CAR98 Mono 4 calipers and two Paragon rotor assemblies for the listed axle
- A set of brake pads in the ordered compound
- Caliper mounting brackets and required mounting hardware
- Goodridge stainless steel braided brake lines
- Paragon general big brake kit installation guide (PDF)
Choose a pad compound
P2 Sport Comfort is the street-oriented choice. P3 Road & Track covers sport driving and light track duty. R5 and R7 target dedicated track/competition use and bring greater noise, dust and a higher operating-temperature requirement. Choose for the complete braking setup rather than friction rating alone.
Wheel clearance and installation
Check a wheel-fitment template for the exact rotor/caliper configuration before ordering. Wheel diameter alone does not establish barrel or spoke clearance. Include any aftermarket suspension hardware in the check, then confirm brake-line routing and component clearance during professional installation.

Product FAQs
Does this kit upgrade both axles?
No. It is an axle-specific rear kit for BMW F87 M2 / F80 M3 / F82 M4. The listed calipers, rotors, pads and hardware serve that axle.
What must I check before ordering?
Confirm the vehicle/chassis, rear axle, ordered rotor/caliper configuration and wheel clearance. Fitment should include any modified suspension components.
Does a larger wheel guarantee clearance?
No. Barrel shape, spoke design and offset matter as well as diameter. Use the template for the exact kit rather than relying on nominal wheel size.
Which replacement pads does this caliper use?
Confirm the service pad shape for Alcon CAR98 before ordering. This caliper family is separate from Paragon PA025.
