Fade Stop Disc Brake Coolers



If you race your Z car, your brake pads can reach temperatures well over the melting point of Aluminum (~600°C). If you've ever watced racing videos, the rotors can often be seen glowing bright red. Rotors have integral vents which, during rotation, move ambient temperature air through the rotor for cooling. The brake pads mostly cool down from their contact with the rotor, and race history proves that cooling solely through that contact with the rotor is not always sufficient, and brake fade, if not failure, is the result. The Fade Stop Brake Cooler is a Patent Applied For brake accessory which is mounted between the brake pad and the caliper piston. They are “drop-in” parts that are as easy to install as a new set of brake pads. They conduct heat from the brake pad piston interface to heat sinks located externally to the brake caliper. A high yield strength, high melting temperature and high thermal conductivity dual metal composite called Thermal Steel was developed specifically for the extreme thermal conditions found in a high performance brake system. These kits should not wear out or need replacing except under extremely abrasive conditions. Originally developed for use on classic automobiles with un-vented rotors, they significantly improve the dissipation of excess heat to the environment. Up to a 20% decrease in maximum caliper piston temperature has been recorded. In order to test their effectiveness, a prototype was installed on the driver's side of a 240Z. Testing revealed a temperature difference between the two caliper pistons that was typically 20 to 40% but that on one occasion was as great as 70%! (240Z Application Brake Coolers Coming Shortly!). The majority of the test results are discussed in an article published in the September 1st issue of Sport Z magazine.
