APR Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Plates
2013–2016 Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ
CF-505652
Overview:
The APR Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Plates are precision-engineered components designed specifically for the 2013 to 2016 Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ models. These brake cooling ducts are essential for drivers seeking to enhance the thermal management of their braking system, especially during spirited driving or track use. By directing fresh, cool air directly to the brake rotors and calipers, these cooling plates help reduce excessive heat buildup, which can lead to brake fade and premature component wear.
Constructed from high-quality carbon fiber, these cooling plates not only improve brake performance but also contribute to weight savings and add a refined, performance-oriented aesthetic under the hood. They are ideal for enthusiasts who demand both function and style in their vehicle upgrades.
Key Features:
Designed with both performance and durability in mind, the APR Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Plates offer the following key features:
- Manufactured using pre-preg carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) for superior strength-to-weight ratio
- Enhances brake cooling by channeling fresh air to critical brake components
- Reduces brake fade and helps maintain consistent braking performance under high-stress conditions
- UV-resistant clear-coat finish protects against environmental damage and maintains appearance
- Lightweight design contributes to overall vehicle weight reduction
- Direct fitment for 2013–2016 Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ models, ensuring easy installation
- Improves longevity of brake components by reducing heat-related wear
- Stylish carbon fiber construction adds a high-end, performance look to the engine bay
Construction & Design:
The APR Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Plates are crafted using advanced pre-preg carbon fiber manufacturing techniques. This process involves layering carbon fiber sheets impregnated with resin and curing them in an autoclave under high temperature and pressure. The result is a component that offers exceptional rigidity and durability while remaining remarkably lightweight.
The carbon fiber material is finished with a UV-resistant clear coat to protect against sun exposure and environmental elements, ensuring long-lasting performance and appearance. This meticulous construction process guarantees that the cooling plates withstand the demanding conditions of high-performance driving without compromising structural integrity.
Installation & Fitment:
These brake cooling plates are designed as direct replacements for the factory components on the 2013 to 2016 Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ. Installation is straightforward and requires no permanent modifications to the vehicle, making it accessible for both professional installers and experienced enthusiasts. Proper installation ensures optimal airflow to the brake system, maximizing cooling efficiency and performance benefits.
What's Included:
- One pair of APR Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Plates (driver and passenger side)
- UV-resistant clear coat finish applied
- Installation instructions
Ideal For:
The APR Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Plates are perfect for Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ owners who participate in track days, autocross events, or spirited street driving and want to improve brake cooling and reliability. They are also an excellent upgrade for enthusiasts looking to reduce weight and add a premium carbon fiber component to their vehicle’s brake system without compromising OEM fitment or quality.
