Vargas Rear Drag Brake Conversion Kit - Black - Plain Rotors - BMW E9X 335

Product Details

The VTT Ultimate Rear Drag Brake Conversion Kit for the E9X 335 is the ideal foundation for the serious racer who prefers to customize their own braking setup. This "base" configuration provides the essential hardware needed to convert the rear axle for small-wheel clearance without the extra cost of pre-selected pads or lines. By utilizing lightweight 4-piston calipers and 15-inch-compatible plain rotors, this kit sheds nearly 20 lbs of rotating mass. It is a strictly performance-oriented modification intended for street and drag use, ensuring that your 335i can take advantage of specialized drag radials while maintaining reliable stopping power at the end of the track.
