APR Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Bezels Fits Most Subaru Models 15-21 WRX / STI | Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber | Brake Cooling Ducts
Overview
The APR Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Bezels are designed to enhance brake cooling efficiency for Subaru WRX and WRX STI models from 2015 to 2021. These bezels serve as aerodynamic ducts that channel fresh air directly to the brake rotors, helping to reduce excessive heat buildup during spirited driving or track sessions. Ideal for enthusiasts who push their Subaru’s braking system hard, these ducts help maintain optimal brake performance and protect critical components from heat-related damage.
Crafted using advanced pre-preg carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials, these bezels combine lightweight construction with exceptional strength. The manufacturing process involves autoclave curing at high temperatures, ensuring a durable and precise fit. Finished with a UV-resistant clear coat, the bezels resist environmental wear while maintaining a sleek, OEM+ appearance that complements Subaru’s aggressive styling.
By leveraging the venturi effect, the APR bezels funnel large volumes of air through the brake ducts, increasing air pressure and velocity as vehicle speed rises. This targeted airflow improves heat dissipation from the rotors lap after lap, which is crucial for Subaru owners who demand consistent braking performance on the street or track. When paired with appropriate high-temperature air duct hoses (sold separately), these bezels become an essential upgrade for managing brake temperatures and preserving the longevity of your braking system.
