APR Performance Brake Cooling Kit w/ Carbon Fiber Bezels 15-21 Subaru STI | Carbon Fiber Construction | Brake Cooling Kit
Overview
The APR Performance Brake Cooling Kit with Carbon Fiber Bezels is engineered exclusively for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX STI to enhance brake cooling efficiency during aggressive driving and track use. This kit utilizes aerodynamically optimized ducts designed to channel large volumes of fresh air directly onto the brake rotors, reducing heat buildup and helping to maintain consistent braking performance lap after lap. It is ideal for Subaru enthusiasts who demand reliable brake cooling under high-stress conditions.
Crafted from pre-preg carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), these brake ducts combine lightweight construction with exceptional strength. The manufacturing process involves autoclave curing at high temperatures, ensuring a durable and precise fitment that complements the STI’s performance-oriented design. The ducts are finished with a UV-resistant clear coat to protect against environmental damage, maintaining their appearance and structural integrity over time.
By improving airflow to the brake rotors, this kit helps prevent excessive heat that can lead to brake fade and component wear. For Subaru WRX STI owners, maintaining optimal brake temperatures is critical for both safety and performance, especially during spirited driving or track sessions. The APR brake cooling ducts provide a functional upgrade that integrates seamlessly with the STI’s OEM cooling system, supporting longevity and consistent braking feel.
