72Racing x Paragon 380x36mm 2-Piece Front Brake Conversion Kit - BMW F87 M2 Competition 2NH - 18" Wheels

Complete 380mm front brake conversion package for the BMW F87 M2 Competition with factory 2NH six-piston front calipers. This package combines Paragon Performance 380x36mm two-piece front brake discs with a pair of 72Racing 2NH caliper conversion brackets, giving you the core components required to reduce the factory 400mm front brake package to 380mm and unlock selected 18-inch wheel fitments.

The conversion retains the original BMW 2NH six-piston front calipers while moving them inward to suit the smaller 380mm rotor diameter. It is aimed at track and fast-road builds where 18-inch wheels are preferred for tyre availability, tyre cost, reduced rotating mass and improved sidewall compliance.

72Racing bracket conversion

• Repositions the factory 2NH six-piston front calipers for the 380mm rotor diameter
• Retains the factory BMW 2NH front calipers
• Reduces the original 400mm front brake package to 380mm
• Designed specifically to support selected 18-inch wheel fitments
• Supplied as a pair

Vehicle fitment

• BMW F87 M2 Competition
• Factory option: 2NH M Sport brakes
• Factory front brake: 400x36mm disc with six-piston fixed caliper

This is a conversion package, not a direct 400mm replacement disc kit. The supplied 72Racing brackets are required to correctly reposition the 2NH calipers around the 380mm discs.

Why convert to 380mm?

• Creates additional wheel-barrel clearance for selected 18-inch track wheels
• Retains the strong factory 2NH six-piston front calipers
• Opens up a much wider range of 18-inch track tyres
• Potentially reduces wheel and tyre package weight
• Allows greater tyre sidewall for compliance over kerbs and uneven surfaces
• Provides a serviceable two-piece rotor platform for repeated track use

18-inch wheel fitment

Wheel diameter alone does not guarantee caliper clearance. Inner-barrel shape and drop-centre depth are critical. APEX shallow-barrel wheel designs are particularly well suited to this conversion.

APEX has physically tested a comparable F87 380mm six-piston brake conversion. Proven options include multiple SM-10, VS-5, VS-5RS, EC-7RS and other 18-inch fitments, with the 18x10 ET25 configuration providing particularly strong documented clearance. Some other designs and offsets require spacers.

Always test fit the exact wheel before mounting tyres. Wheel design revisions, spacers, suspension setup and alignment can all affect final clearance.

Also available separately

If you already have compatible 380x36mm discs, the 72Racing 2NH 380mm Caliper Bracket Kit is also available separately.

Installation

This is a safety-critical braking conversion. Professional installation is recommended. Disc runout, caliper alignment, pad sweep, wheel clearance and brake-system condition should all be checked before road or track use.
