VTT F8X Ultimate Lightweight Rear Brake Kit

F87 M2 / F80 M3 / F82–F83 M4

Looking to make your F8X M2C/M3/M4 faster in the 1/4-mile or 1/2-mile?

Want to run 17” rear wheels?

Want to retain the factory parking brake while dropping significant unsprung weight?

The VTT F8X Ultimate Lightweight Rear Brake Kit is engineered for straight-line performance while maintaining proper street functionality. This kit allows you to run the wheel and tire combo needed to lower ETs — all while putting your F8X on a serious weight reduction program compared to the factory rear setup.

✔ 17” rear wheel clearance
✔ Retains stock parking brake
✔ Up to 21 lbs total rear weight savings

This kit comes in 1 variation, with two different caliper options. We HIGHLY suggest 6-piston Calipers for street driving and 1/2-mile racing. These calipers will drop weight, AND be a braking upgrade over stock calipers. Requires trimming of dust shields to fit

Pictures are for REFERENCE ONLY. All kits will come with varying hardware, brackets, and mounting styles based on the platform.
