Vargas Ultimate Front Drag Brake Kit - Black - BMW E8X, E9X

Product Details

Engineered for straight-line dominance, the VTT BMW Ultimate Front Drag Brake Kit focuses on the physics of the quarter-mile. Every component in this HD kit—from the CNC-machined 7075 aluminum hats to the Wilwood Spec 37 rotors—is chosen to minimize rotational mass and maximize weight transfer. The HD (Heavy Duty) GT36 rotor configuration is a robust choice for those who demand a setup that can handle the heat of back-to-back runs while maintaining the thermal mass required for street use. This specific configuration features the Black 6-Piston caliper upgrade, offering a larger pad surface area and more uniform pressure distribution compared to standard drag kits. For the E-Series BMW, this kit is a bolt-on powerhouse that transforms the front-end dynamics of the vehicle, allowing for a more aggressive wheel-and-tire setup and faster elapsed times.

Key Features

• Optimized Weight Transfer: Drastic reduction in nose weight helps the car "squat" and launch more effectively at the strip.

• Precision Engineering: Includes VTT custom CNC-machined brackets and hats for a perfect, play-free fit.

• Enhanced Thermal Management: The HD Spec 37 rotors provide a greater heat sink than scalloped race rotors, making them suitable for 1/2 mile racing.

• Direct Bolt-On: No drilling or fabrication required; utilizes factory mounting points for a seamless installation.

• Professional Aesthetics: Sleek black 6-piston calipers provide a high-end, stealthy appearance behind drag wheels.

• Premium Hardware: Uses only genuine Wilwood and VTT components for maximum longevity and part availability.
