Vargas Ultimate Rear Drag Brake Conversion Kit - Red - BMW F3X

Product Details

The VTT F3X Ultimate Rear Drag Brake Conversion Kit is the premier solution for BMW F-series owners looking to optimize their vehicle for competitive drag racing. This kit is specifically engineered to allow the fitment of 15-inch wheels on the rear, a necessary step for running high-traction drag slicks or radials. By replacing the bulky factory single-piston calipers with lightweight 4-piston Wilwood calipers, this system provides a significant reduction in unsprung weight, which directly translates to improved suspension response and faster ETs at the track.

Key Features

• 15" Wheel Compatibility: Specifically designed to provide the necessary clearance for most 15-inch drag wheels, such as the Weld RTS series.

• Significant Weight Savings: Sheds up to 20 lbs of unsprung weight compared to the stock BMW rear brake setup.

• Red 4-Piston Calipers: Includes high-performance Wilwood Dyna-Pro or Dyna-Lite calipers finished in a striking Red powder coat for both style and durability.

• Plain Rotors: Utilizes high-quality Centric 125 Series plain rotors for consistent heat dissipation and reliable stopping power without the risk of cracking under heavy drag use.

• Plug-and-Play Installation: Includes all necessary CNC-machined brackets, adapter fittings, and high-strength bolts for a direct-fit application.
