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

Product Details

The Vargas Ultimate Front Drag Brake Kit is the premier solution for BMW E-Series owners looking to dominate the 1/4 and 1/2 mile. By replacing the bulky factory braking system with this high-performance HD version, you can shed over 50 lbs of unsprung weight from the nose of your vehicle. This massive weight reduction significantly improves weight transfer during launch, leading to more consistent and lower ETs. Engineered for straight-line performance without sacrificing safety, this "HD" variant utilizes Spec 37 heavy-duty rotors, making it robust enough for both track duties and street driving. The 6-piston caliper upgrade provides superior clamping force and a more aggressive aesthetic behind your wheels compared to the 4-piston alternatives.
