Brake Cooling Kit BMW M2 G87

Whether in normal driving, spirited driving or on track, there is no need to dwell on the bicycle brakes that BMWs come with from the factory. After a few hard stops the bite fades away, and the pedal may even sink to the floor.

Fitting big brakes will push back the limits, but you soon wonder " how do I get brakes with endurance?" When you see pro drivers lapping for hours it seems out of reach. But looking closely at how racing brakes are designed, while discs, pads and calipers are now within reach of the public, the main difference lies in cooling and thermal management.

Once properly cooled, pads and discs work at lower temperatures, greatly reducing their wear and maintaining their performance lap after lap.

This complete kit is therefore the essential complement to original or aftermarket brakes. It uses the original air intakes to channel air from the bumper, through the original duct and via the wheel arches to the final backing plate.

The M2 G87 already has intake ducts in the front bumper, but these end in the middle of the wheel arch. To avoid air swirling randomly in the wheel arch, an air duct extension was designed using a 3D scan of the wheel arch.

This is the speciality of Speed Engineering, who designed this kit and manufacture it at a competitive price using the latest production technologies, also proven in competition.

Advantages:

• Uses the original aerodynamics and ducts
• Installation with minimal effort and modification
• Air delivered to the centre of the disc
• Protects bearings and ball joints from heat
• Powder-coated aluminium hub plate
• Direct replacement for the original

IMPORTANT: Given the different chassis geometries and wheel and tyre combinations, it is impossible to cover every variant. In the worst case, the wheel could rub at full steering lock (which should only happen when parking). If this does happen, we advise you not to manoeuvre at full lock or to fit steering stops.

Kit contents:

• 1x front left air duct inlet
• 1x front right air duct inlet
• 8x mounting bolts with washers
• 1x left anchor plate
• 1x right anchor plate
• 1x air hose
• 4x hose clamps

Mike's tip:

"After adding 60mm ducts to my M3 E46 with Alcon big brakes, I could do 35-minute sessions at the Bugatti circuit or Spa, and it wasn't the car that gave up but the driver! It's sometimes complicated, but it's worth it"
