E46 BRAKE COOLING DUCTS...
This listing is for the DUCTS only.
These DUCTS fit into the front bumper and are connected to the brake backing plate, thereby "force feeding" air to the center of the discs to vastly improve heat dissipation and thus help prevent brake fade.

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 centre of the bearing hub and brake rotor. The air is then expelled through the ventilation slots in the centre of the rotors.

Kit includes:
- 2x Brake cooling ducts*

* connecting brake cooling hose internal diameter 51mm.
