Description
E46 BRAKE COOLING HOSE...
This listing is for the BRAKE COOLING HOSE only.
The BRAKE COOLING HOSE connects the DUCTS which are mounted in the front bumper to the BRAKE COOLING BACK PLATES behind the brake discs.
Brake cooling ducts are a common practice in motorsport. Severe braking conditions create a tremendous amount of heat at the brake pad, rotors, calipers, and wheel bearing hubs. Under normal driving conditions this heat dissipates during the non braking cool down period.
On the track or hard road use the braking is much more severe and the cool down times are much shorter. As the braking temperature increases, brake component service life is decreased dramatically. A standard set of brake pads and rotors can wear out completely during one weekend of track driving. This is due to the material failure of both the pads and rotors at extreme temperatures. Forcing air directly at the core of the brake rotor, which then passes through the rotor vents, will increase the life of the brake components. The cooling ducts direct the air to the center of the bearing hub and brake rotor. The air is then expelled through the ventilation slots in the center of the rotors.
Included:
- 2x Brake cooling hose (internal diameter 51mm).
