APR Brake Rotor Cooling Kit
2013–2016 Scion FR-S
CF-505658
Overview:
The APR Brake Rotor Cooling Kit is engineered specifically for the 2013–2016 Scion FR-S to provide superior brake cooling performance during spirited driving and track use. This kit combines aerodynamically optimized carbon fiber brake cooling ducts with high-quality carbon fiber brake cooling hoses, delivering an effective cooling solution designed to reduce brake rotor temperatures lap after lap. By channeling fresh, high-pressure air directly to the brake rotors, this kit helps prevent excessive heat buildup that can lead to brake fade, rotor warping, and premature component wear.
Ideal for enthusiasts who demand consistent braking performance under aggressive driving conditions, the APR Brake Rotor Cooling Kit enhances both the reliability and longevity of your braking system while adding a lightweight, high-tech aesthetic to your vehicle.
Key Features:
Designed with precision and performance in mind, the APR Brake Rotor Cooling Kit offers the following key features:
- Carbon Fiber Construction: Manufactured using pre-preg carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) for exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and durability.
- Aerodynamic Optimization: Utilizes the venturi effect to funnel large volumes of air efficiently, increasing pressure and velocity as air passes through the ducts.
- High-Temperature Resistant Hoses: Includes APR carbon fiber brake cooling hoses engineered to withstand extreme heat conditions.
- UV-Resistant Coating: Finished with a clear UV-resistant coat to protect against environmental damage and maintain appearance over time.
- Track-Proven Performance: Helps maintain optimal brake temperatures during repeated high-speed laps, reducing the risk of brake fade and component damage.
- Lightweight Design: Adds minimal weight to the vehicle, preserving handling characteristics.
- Improved Brake System Longevity: By reducing heat stress, it extends the life of rotors, pads, and other brake components.
Construction & Design:
The APR Brake Rotor Cooling Kit is crafted from advanced pre-preg carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), a material known for its superior strength and lightweight properties. Each component is formed in an autoclave at high temperatures, ensuring a precise, high-quality finish that meets rigorous performance standards. The aerodynamic shape of the ducts is specifically engineered to maximize airflow using the venturi effect, which increases air pressure and velocity as it moves through the narrowing duct passage. This design efficiently directs fresh, cool air to the brake rotors, helping to dissipate heat generated during aggressive braking.
To protect the carbon fiber from UV damage and environmental exposure, each duct is coated with a durable, UV-resistant clear coat. Proper care, similar to automotive paint maintenance, is recommended to preserve the finish and performance of the ducts over time.
Installation & Fitment:
The APR Brake Rotor Cooling Kit is designed as a direct fit for the 2013–2016 Scion FR-S, ensuring straightforward installation with minimal modifications. The kit includes carbon fiber ducts and hoses engineered to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle’s existing brake system. While the kit provides the ducts and hoses, high-temperature air duct hoses may need to be sourced separately from reputable racing supply shops to complete the installation. Proper routing and secure mounting are essential to maximize cooling efficiency and maintain reliability during track use.
What's Included:
- Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Ducts
- APR Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Hoses
Ideal For:
This brake cooling kit is ideal for Scion FR-S owners who participate in track days, autocross events, or any form of high-performance driving where brake temperatures can rise rapidly. It is also suitable for enthusiasts seeking to enhance the durability and effectiveness of their braking system under demanding conditions while adding a premium carbon fiber component to their vehicle’s setup.
