HARD Motorsport - BMW E46 M3 Brake Cooling Low-Profile Duct Full Kit
Save $ when you get our full kit!
Overheating your brakes can end an entire weekend at the track and is the most common reason for premature brake failure and wear.
Hi-Flow Molded, Low-Profile ABS Cooling Ductwork:
The HARD Motorsport Brake Cooling DUCT kit is designed for maximum efficiency specifically for the BMW E46. The Low Profile design allows for more clearance for greater turning radius. An aluminum plate on the exterior side adds even more protection against wear from tire contact. No more destroying expensive flex hose. Race inspired by modern duct design of top motorsport teams and manufacturers.
Easy Mounting:
Ducts include a sturdy aluminum mounting bracket that utilizes existing hardware. Ducts tuck directly against the frame rail for maximum clearance.
Track and Daily Driver Compatible :
Our low-profile ducts were CAD designed from laser scans of the E46 chassis to be compatible with OEM A/C Equipment. The forward splash guard will need to be modified or removed (as pictured) to allow for installation of the duct kit.
Features:
- 2 HARD low-profile air ducts with aluminum mounting bracket.
- 2 HARD All-Aluminum M3 Brake Cooling Baking Plates
- 2 HARD E46 M3 thermo molded bumper inlets
- Hight temp flex hose 3” ID x 5 ft (intended to be cut to 2x 18” and 2x 12” sections)
More about our backing plates:
Cool air is delivered directly to your brakes via our carefully fabricated backing plate, instead of blasting the front of your tire with unnecessary heat from the brake components. Our kit resolves this factory design flaw.
- The HARD Motorsport E36 M3 cooling plate design allows for more air flow direclty into the rotor hat. We also incorporate an inner hat retaining ring that keeps cool air from venting away from the rotor for maximum efficiency and keeps away radiant heat, dust and debris from the rotor face.
- ALL ALUMINUM Fabrication. No 3D Printed, or other plastic parts that will melt down, or become brittle on every heat cycle. No need to avoid using Brake Cleaner sprays and chemical degreasers.
- Solid Aluminum rivet construction, so no loose hardware due to heat cycling.
- CERAKOTE® Satin Black Finish.
- High Temperature coating can withstand temperatures up to 1,800˚
- Withstands thermal cycling as well as thermal shock
- Unmatched in corrosion and chemical resistance
- A distinct, high-end look and feel
- Fits most popular rotor sizes: OEM M3, 332mm, 345mm, and 355mm BBK
** Tire clearance must be checked after installation while the car is on the ground. The ducts may not eliminate all of your contact issues at full lock depending on several variables. Steering Limiters are available if needed.
