Product Details
Rear Brake Cooling Kit by Stillen®. Stillen is proud to offer an active brake cooling option for R35 GT-R owners looking to improve track times and lower brake temperatures. These kits are for use with both traditional iron rotors, as well as the Stillen Carbon Ceramic Matrix Brake Kit.During the development of the Stillen GT R Targa rally car Team Stillen worked very closely with the engineers at AP Racing to develop the 1st aftermarket Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit in the world. One of the key components of that kit was brake cooling. Carbon Ceramic Brakes have an ideal operating temperature range where they perform at their best. Carbon Ceramic Brakes work well when cold however their true performance shines through during repeated hard, high temperature braking. However, there is a temperature threshold which should not be exceeded. Stillen is proud to announce the release of the new 370Z brake cooling kit for owners looking to improve track times and lower brake temperatures. These kits can be used with Stillen Sport Rotors and Metal Matrix brake pads, AP Racing Brake Kits, and factory brake systems.

During the development of the kit the engineers at AP Racing asked what Stillen would be doing for brake cooling. Stillen were open to all input from AP and their instructions were to use external fans directing air to the rotors and calipers. They said regardless how hot the air is coming off the engine, its a lot cooler than the heat coming off the rotors.
The rear cooling kit utilizes polyurethane air scoops which work in conjunction with the factory NACA ducts in the belly pan to route air to the braking system, and also features polyurethane air funnels, accordion tube and all necessary mounting bracketry.
Because brakes work better with a bit of heat in them Stillen prefer to leave the brake cooling kit off of the car when Steve Millen drives because he does not utilize the VDC control system. If you are like 99% of the owners of GT-Rs you more than likely utilize the VDC function and therefore Stillen recommend the rear brake cooling system.
These kits, while developed to aid in the necessary cooling for the Carbon Ceramic Brake setup, this kit is also extremely effective in lowering caliper/rotor temperatures for both stock iron rotor setups, as well as the AP Racing iron rotor upgrades
As with all Stillen urethane body components, these are proudly designed and made in the USA at Stillen Costa Mesa, California facility.
Stillen® Company founder Steve Millen has been globally racing at the professional level for over 30 years. From Formula Fords in Singapore, Rally Cars in Africa, Trucks in football stadiums, to Nissan Prototypes at Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Daytona. These are just some of Steve's victory credits. Steve captured the prestigious title of IMSA GT Driver's Championship in both 1992 and 1994 driving his Cunningham Racing prepared Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo racecar. His lengthy list of wins has earned him a new title that may remain intact for decades to come - "The All-Time Winningest Driver in IMSA GT History."
