Tired of dealing with brake fade during track days or spirited driving? In this video, I break down the final pieces of the puzzle for the Speed Performance Lab Big Brake Kit (BBK): high-performance brake cooling and the right pad selection.
Proper cooling is critical to preventing brake fade, overheating, and expensive rotor warping. I test fit new air-guide cooling ducts inspired by the Nismo 400R design, which route air directly into your brakes to keep temperatures stable. We also dive into Padid Street Plus pads—the same brake pads used on the Lotus Evora 400—to ensure your R32, R33, or R34 GTR has the stopping power it deserves.
What’s Inside This Technical Guide:
Preventing Brake Fade: Why active air-cooling ducts are the ultimate insurance policy for your expensive brake components.
Padid Street Plus Performance: I perform a test fit and break down why these are the superior choice for a dual-purpose street/track GTR.
Fitment & Clearance: Watch as we mock up the cooling guides to ensure proper clearance with our AP Racing brackets.
Next-Gen Development: We discuss upcoming plans for custom-designed brake lines that match the quality of our Speed Performance Lab kit.
Future Market Plans: I’m looking into stocking these cooling ducts and high-performance pads for both GTR and WRX owners—let me know if you want a set in the comments!
