    Will I need a brake cooling kit for open track days?

    I'm coming from the Porsche world and my early 911 definitely needed a brake cooling kit for time trials and lapping days. I'm wondering if my M3 will need something similar? The set up from Hard Motorsports looks great but I don't even know if I will over heat these brakes. I have Hawk racing pads, cross drilled rotors, Motul 600 and stainless lines. Thanks

    Depends on the track. Where do you mostly run? Is there lots of straight between corners for adiqiute cooling. Or lots of corners with short straights and not much time for cooling? Also depends on how heavy your car is.

      There are a lot of variables... Are you hard on brakes in general or pretty linear when braking? Which pads did you get? These cars get decent brake cooling from the factory bumper ducts. Also, drilled rotors can be a pain in the ass when they fill up with pad material. Bring along a small drill bit just in case....
