Racing Brake Cooling
Cooling is critical to vehicle’s dependability and overall well-being, especially when traveling at extreme rpm’s on a racetrack. Not only your rev-happy high-tuned engine needs cooling to handle racing temperature extremes so does your brake system. While you’re turning corners at the racetrack, your brake system is exposed to a tremendous amount of heat and pressure generated during the wildly exhilarating ride. The ability to stop your car at the racetrack where every second matters is a must. Brakes lose this ability when they’re overheated. Ensuring efficient cooling for your brakes is critical for a safe, reliable braking and lower lap times.
To slow down to make your racer around a corner at the racetrack, brakes need to convert some of the kinetic energy into thermal. In other words, speed is converted into heat. Stock road car braking system can’t handle the severe demands of racetrack driving. So, if you don't want the brakes to melt down during long July and August races and don’t want to swap out your brake pads and rotors far too often, consider adding a brake cooling system capable of withstanding heat extremes and heavy loads or improve what you have to bring your car to a smooth stop at the racetrack. From brake ducts and hoses to cooling fans and kits, we carry all the critical racing brake cooling parts that will allow more airflow to your hot brakes, keeping them cooler in the harsh, unforgiving conditions of racing.
Racing brake cooling components can also help make your pads and rotors last longer and perform better by keeping them within optimum temperature range. By routing massive amounts of cooling air from the inlet to the rotor eye, ducts and hoses have proven to bring down those damaging high temperatures to prevent overheating and keep your stopping distances as short as possible. We offer tough, high-impact plastic and aluminum ducts as well as flexible silicone hoses that can withstand high temperatures. They’re used for just about any form of road racing from the grassroots level up to Formula 1. Installing a cooling fan to your race car is also an excellent solution for your high-performance brake cooling needs. We have industry-leading fans with a unique design that cools the wheel side of the caliper allows you to double stack fans for maximized airflow.
