A pair of Brake cooling kit is known from motorsport and is available for racing vehicles from certain manufacturers. And the name is actually self-explanatory. BMW, Porsche and Audi, for example, offer appropriate kits for their sports vehicles. A brake cooling kit is used to provide improved cooling the brake on the front axle to reach. The performance of the brakes should be optimized through the improved cooling in the front axle area. This in turn should lead to improved service life.
Brake cooling kit - effective cooling
The area of the front axle can be optimally cooled with a suitable brake cooling kit. Manufacturers such as BMW, Audi and Porsche offer suitable kits for the racing sector. The brake cooling kit must of course match the vehicle model exactly in order to enable a targeted and, above all, improved air supply in the front axle area.
The permanently improved cooling with the built-in kit has a positive effect on the brakes and can lead to significantly improved downtimes. The kit is intended to significantly improve the performance of the brake, especially when braking several times from high speeds.
Brake cooling kit - pay attention to suitable products
The kits for cooling the front axle area are available for Porsche vehicles, for example. Porsche 965 Turbo as well as Porsche 964 Carrera and RS vehicles can be equipped with an additional brake cooling kit. The kit is installed in the front apron. At Porsche, for example, the fog lights are removed and the kit is installed in their place. When purchasing a kit that is precisely tailored to the vehicle model, it must therefore be purchased.
There are also individual sets, but sometimes extensive and particularly time-consuming renovation work may be required to ensure an optimal air supply. It also makes sense to choose a brake cooling kit that has a motorsport look. After all, the eye eats too. For example, kits made of GRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) or carbon are suitable. In principle, such a kit is available for any vehicle, A Approval for the street but only very few have.
Brake cooling kit - which components?
A brake cooling kit usually consists of air duct inserts (GRP) and air hoses. In addition, connection pieces and air guide vanes are included in a kit. When buying a brake cooling kit, make sure that the mounting material is included directly. Well-known third-party providers are APR, Cargraphic or MK-Motorsport.
For example: An OEM Audi Sport GmbH brake cooling kit for the TT RS of the 8S series consists of a guide vane on the wishbone and a performance brake cover plate behind the brake disc on the axle.
Brake cooling anchor plates for BMW vehicles
Brake cooling anchor plates for the wheel carrier are also available in stores for BMW vehicles. Such a kit can be purchased from MK Rennsporttechnik, for example. This type of anchor plate for brake cooling does not require a GT4 front spoiler for installation. The air inlets for the brake cooling anchor plates can be installed directly below the bumper.
The brake cooling anchor plates ensure that cool air is directed to the brake discs. The cool air is fed directly into the center of the brake disc. The air collectors (air inlet) are supplied to fit, for example, the M3 of the E90 / E92 generation. When buying it, however, it should be clear that a brake cooling kit only for use on the racetrack is intended. If you want to purchase a brake cooling kit, you should make sure that it is a lightweight component and that the kit has been tested in motorsport.
For example: The MK brake cooling kit for the M3 E90 / E92 / GT4 comes with brake cooling anchor plates for the wheel carrier, special MK carbon air inlets for the M3 and associated ventilation hoses as well as the correct fastening material. The set is installed instead of the original anchor plate and achieves a Ram Air effect. The anchor plates are optically integrated due to their black powder coating.
