Brake Cooling

Have you ever noticed how hot your wheels become after driving in stop-and-go traffic? You would be surprised if you measured their temperature since they can be very hot. The source of this heat is the friction caused by the contact of your brake pads with rotors, which appears every time you push the brake pedal. Getting hotter and hotter your brakes are losing their efficiency, resulting in an increased stopping distance, which dramatically affects your driving safety. To stay safe on the road, you should keep them cool, which is easy to do with performance brake cooling parts from CARiD.

Performance brake cooling parts are one of the most efficient and easiest ways to keep your brakes cool regardless of your driving style or weather conditions. Such parts include, but are not limited to, brake duct kits, brake cooling shields and deflectors, chin spoiler brake duct kits, and brake fans. They may differ in design, although, all of them serve the same purpose of increasing air flow to your brakes to reduce their operating temperature, which sometimes can reach and exceed 200 degrees Celsius in street use and over 500 degrees Celsius on the track.

If you notice your vehicle is losing its braking efficiency on hot summer days or after driving in a traffic jam, you should consider purchasing and installing a performance cooling kit. Depending on the type of your vehicle and your driving habits, you can go from a full brake duct kit or brake fans to simple brake cooling deflectors. The latter ones are very easy to install and in the majority of cases do not require any kind of modifications to your vehicle. Brake cooling deflectors operate similarly to your wind deflectors, redirecting air flow. But unlike wind guards that direct it out of the windows, brake deflectors deliver more air to your rotors and pads. Such brake deflectors are an ideal solution for most street car and truck drivers who like to press the gas pedal to the floor.

Traveling at high speeds on a racetrack, your car has lots of kinetic energy. To stop or slow down the vehicle, your brakes have to convert it into thermal energy, which significantly increases their temperature. Such temperature peaks can quickly overheat your rotors and pads, and cause a loss of braking power and even their failure or brake fluid boiling. To be on the safe side, you need to ensure proper cooling of your brakes. To bear you a hand on that, we provide high-performance brake duct kits. They are highly efficient brake cooling solutions that transfer a huge amount of cold air from inlets in your front bumper or fenders to rotors and pads. Brake ducts are a must-have for your racing vehicle or hot-rod if you want to feel safe and sound on the track.
