APR Performance Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Plates 2013-2021 BRZ / FRS | Lightweight Carbon Fiber | Brake Cooling Plates

Overview

The APR Performance Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Plates are designed specifically for the 2013-2021 Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86/FR-S platforms to improve brake cooling efficiency. These plates direct fresh air toward the brake rotors, helping to dissipate heat generated during aggressive driving or track use. By managing brake temperatures, they help prevent brake fade and extend the life of critical braking components, making them an essential upgrade for enthusiasts who push their cars hard.

Manufactured using pre-preg carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials, these cooling plates combine exceptional strength with minimal weight. The autoclave curing process ensures a high-quality, durable product that resists deformation under heat and stress. APR’s focus on advanced materials and precision engineering results in a component that not only performs but also adds a refined, lightweight touch to the brake cooling system.

For Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 owners, these brake cooling plates offer a practical solution to heat management without compromising weight or fitment. The UV-resistant clear-coat finish protects the carbon fiber from environmental damage, maintaining both function and appearance over time. Proper brake cooling is critical for maintaining consistent braking performance during spirited driving, track days, or extended canyon runs, making these plates a valuable addition to your Subaru BRZ’s performance setup.
