However, in cooperation with \u003cstrong\u003eDonni\u003c\/strong\u003e (a well-known name in the Opel scene), the concept has been consistently further developed and significantly optimized in terms of dimensions and airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApprox. 50% larger inlet area\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the series solution, this brake cooling has an \u003cstrong\u003eapproximately 50% larger inlet area\u003c\/strong\u003e. This allows significantly more fresh air to be drawn in and directed to the brake system – a clear advantage for sporty driving, track days, or prolonged high loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptimized exit angle – air where it's needed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exit angle has been specifically adjusted in both the \u003cstrong\u003ehorizontal\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003evertical areas\u003c\/strong\u003e. The goal was not to direct the fresh air past the brake disc towards the rim, but \u003cstrong\u003edirectly onto the brake disc and especially the brake disc hat\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is precisely where the greatest thermal stress occurs – and this is precisely where this brake cooling system comes into play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brake cooling system is manufactured from a \u003cstrong\u003ecarbon fiber-reinforced, heat and UV-resistant plastic\u003c\/strong\u003e. With a \u003cstrong\u003ewall thickness of 2.5 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e all around, the component is designed to be stable and intended for continuous use under demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOEM-like mounting on the control arm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe attachment is – like the original – directly on the \u003cstrong\u003econtrol arm\u003c\/strong\u003e. The necessary mounting material is included in the scope of delivery:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eM6 screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-locking nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis allows for simple and clean mounting without additional adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMounting instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brake cooling systems should be \u003cstrong\u003etightened carefully\u003c\/strong\u003e during mounting. A tightening torque of \u003cstrong\u003eapprox. 3Nm\u003c\/strong\u003e is sufficient. As with many plastic components, the rule here is: \u003cem\u003eAfter tight comes \"snap\"\u003c\/em\u003e. Due to the self-locking nut, there is no risk of the part coming loose again. However, I still recommend regularly checking that the parts are seated securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the \u003cstrong\u003elarger dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e compared to the series solution, it is absolutely necessary to check after mounting that the brake cooling is installed with \u003cstrong\u003esufficient clearance to all moving components\u003c\/strong\u003e (e.g., wheel and brake when compressed and at full lock, drive shafts, control arms, steering).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the \u003cstrong\u003eground clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e should be checked when installed, especially for lowered vehicles or modified suspension geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNote on approval\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this brake cooling system, there are \u003cstrong\u003eno part certificates, ABEC certificates, or other approval documents\u003c\/strong\u003e available. Use on public roads is therefore \u003cstrong\u003eonly permitted after successful approval by an authorized testing organization\u003c\/strong\u003e (e.g., TÜV, DEKRA, KÜS).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is expressly recommended to clarify the \u003cstrong\u003eeligibility for registration before installation\u003c\/strong\u003e with the respective testing organization. The approval and legality within the scope of the StVO (German Road Traffic Regulations) is the responsibility of the vehicle owner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABCustoms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56152294326658,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8341\/5682\/files\/BremsenkuehlungAstragh2.jpg?v=1767472787","url":"https:\/\/abcustoms.de\/en\/products\/opel-astra-g-h-zafira-a-b-bremsenkuhlung-oem","provider":"ABCustoms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
