PQ35 Front Brake Cooling Kit

RACESAFE Brake Cooling Kit Fits PQ35 Platform The RACESAFE Brake Cooling Kit for the PQ35 platform is a purpose-designed, bolt-on solution to combat brake overheating during aggressive road driving and track use. Developed through extensive testing and real-world track mileage, this kit delivers consistent braking performance when it matters most. If you push your PQ35 car hard — whether on track or fast road — effective brake cooling is essential. Key Benefits Dramatically reduces brake temperatures Minimises brake fade during sustained hard driving Improves braking consistency and pedal feel Extends brake disc and pad life Direct bolt-on fitment — no cutting or permanent modification Vehicle Compatibility (PQ35 Platform) Compatible with a wide range of PQ35-based vehicles, including: AUDI Audi A3 Mk2 (8P): 2003–2013 (including Sportback and Cabriolet) Audi TT Mk2 (8J): 2006–2014 Audi Q3 Mk1 (8U): 2011–2018 VW VW Golf Mk5 (1K): 2003–2008 VW Golf Mk6 (5K): 2008–2014 VW Jetta Mk5 (1K/5M): 2005–2010 VW Jetta Mk6 (1B/16): 2011–2018 (Some variants, specifically North American models, used a hybrid PQ25/PQ35) VW Tiguan Mk1 (5N): 2007–2016 VW Touran (1T): 2003–2015 VW Scirocco Mk3 (13): 2008–2017 VW Eos (1F): 2006–2015 VW Beetle (A5): 2011–2019 VW Caddy Mk3 (2K): 2004–2020 VW Golf Plus: 2004–2014 SKODA Škoda Octavia Mk2 (1Z): 2004–2013 Škoda Yeti (5L): 2009–2017 Škoda Superb (3T): 2008–2015 (Also listed as PQ46, which is an extended PQ35) Wikipedia +3 SEAT SEAT León Mk2 (1P): 2005–2012 SEAT Altea (5P): 2004–2015 (including XL) SEAT Toledo Mk3 (5P): 2004 (Exact compatibility may vary depending on brake and suspension configuration) What’s Included 2x RACESAFE Lower Control Arm Brake Cooling Scoops 2x RACESAFE Laser-Cut Brake Backing Plates (PQ35 hubs) 2x Lengths of High-Quality Silicone Brake Ducting 4x Stainless Steel Jubilee Clips Full Hardware Pack (bolts & cable ties) RACESAFE Lower Arm Brake Cooling Scoops Despite the popularity of the PQ35 platform for performance driving, factory brake cooling remains limited — especially during track use. Many aftermarket solutions rely on generic scoops with poor airflow and unstable mounting. RACESAFE developed a platform-specific lower arm scoop, designed from the ground up to capture clean airflow from beneath the car and deliver it efficiently to the brake backing plate. Scoop Design Features Large Air Inlet Area Maximises airflow capture from under the vehicle. Flow-Optimised Internal Geometry Smooth, curved airflow path eliminates sharp edges and turbulence. Vehicle-Specific Fitment Designed to integrate cleanly around the PQ35 lower control arm. Integrated Duct Retention Lip Ensures a secure, clean ducting installation. Fibre-Reinforced ABS Construction Strong, flexible, and resistant to impact and heat. 51mm Outlet Designed to suit 50–51mm brake ducting. RACESAFE Laser-Cut Backing Plates Brake heat management is a known limitation on PQ35 cars during hard driving. The RACESAFE backing plates direct cooled air to the centre of the brake disc, improving heat dissipation and reducing thermal stress. Backing Plate Features Precision laser-cut for accurate, secure fitment Designed to maximise airflow to the disc hat Improves braking consistency under sustained load Caliper Compatibility Supplied spacers allow compatibility with: OEM MQB steel brake systems Performance upgrades Aftermarket calipers such as AP Racing and Alcon High-Performance Silicone Brake Ducting The included silicone ducting is engineered for maximum airflow efficiency and durability: Smooth internal bore for unrestricted airflow External ribbing prevents collapse without disturbing airflow Excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and debris Longer service life than traditional ducting materials Why Brake Cooling Matters Reduced Brake Fade – Maintains stopping power during long sessions Extended Component Life – Less heat-related wear on pads and discs Improved Safety & Confidence – Consistent braking under pressure Installation Fully bolt-on design No cutting or permanent modification required Compatible with OEM and aftermarket brake setups Available Options Purchase as a complete RACESAFE PQ35 brake cooling kit Lower control arm scoops available separately SOME IMAGES ARE FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY
