Product Description
VTT “Ultimate” Front Drag Brake Kit
E-Series & F-Series BMW
Looking to make your E or F-Series BMW faster in the 1/4-mile or 1/2-mile?
Want to run 17″ or even 15″ front wheels?
Want to drop OVER 54 lbs of unsprung weight off the nose of the car while improving weight transfer — without breaking the bank?
The VTT Ultimate Front Drag Kit is engineered specifically for straight-line performance. This system allows you to run the wheel and tire combination needed to lower ETs while dramatically reducing unsprung and rotational mass compared to the factory steel front brake setup.
Less weight.
More clearance.
Better weight transfer.
Faster passes.

15” Wheel Fitment Notes
E-Series:
✔ Allows 15″ front wheel fitment with no modifications.
F-Series (F20, F30, etc.):
-
May require minor grinding on two control arms to clear 15″ wheels.
-
Proper wheel offset selection is critical.
-
Excessive negative offset may require spacers to clear the inboard strut.
Careful wheel fitment planning is recommended.

-
Re-bed properly
Your brake kit includes a bedding instruction card. Follow it precisely.

Looks great, easy install. Turning a road course car into a drag car, the brakes are so much smaller, and offer no resistance when spinning the wheels.
