VTT Ultimate Rear 15” Brake Conversion Kit

BMW E8X / E9X

VTT is proud to introduce our Ultimate Rear 15” Brake Conversion Kit for the E8X/E9X platform.

We took what already exists on the market and made it more complete, more performance-oriented, and purpose-built for drag applications — while maintaining clearance for 15” wheels.

This system replaces your factory rear rotor and single-piston caliper setup with lightweight VTT 4-piston calipers and 15” conversion rotors — dropping up to 20+ lbs of unsprung weight off the rear of the vehicle.

Less weight.
More clearance.
Improved weight transfer.
Better straight-line performance.

What’s Included

• (2) Rear Rotors

  • Plain: Centric 125 Series

Fitment Notes

• Direct bolt-on for specified E8X/E9X chassis.

• Designed to clear many 15” wheel setups.

• We have confirmed fitment with Weld RTS 15×10 wheels.

• Due to wheel offset and design variations, we cannot guarantee clearance with every 15” wheel configuration.

Required Modification:
Rear brake dust shields must be removed for installation.

Important Disclaimer

This kit is designed for street use and drag racing only.

It is NOT designed for:

• Auto-X

Always operate the vehicle within your limits.

Bedding Procedure – CRITICAL

Brake pads must be properly bedded to achieve full braking performance.

Failure to bed pads correctly may result in:

• 30–50% braking effectiveness

• Pad glazing

If glazing occurs:

• Remove rotors

• Sand pads

• Re-bed properly

Your kit includes a bedding instruction card. Follow it exactly.
