I'm not familiar with the duct kit, but all you need is a 2 inch metal hole saw, 2 flanges, 4 hose clamps, 4 tie wraps, and the ducting (Home Depot has the hole saw, hose clamps and tie wraps). If I were to do it again I'd do it the same way. Two and a half inch ducting would probably rub pretty good with 9" rims and 255s up front.

 

Well, it looks like I'll be able to leave a bit earlier on Feb. 19th - probably leave my house before noon.

 

I definitely plan on installing brake ducts, should significantly improve pad life and give race pads aren't cheap, win win. I'm more interested in seeing how people are attaching the hose to the brake shield, ideally it should be pointed towards the center (which the oem vents are designed to do).

 

I definitely can't leave that early.

I cut square holes into my fender well lining above the oem brake duct lining that is in front of the wheel on the front underpanel. I'm not sure if it works and I'm not sure if it affects the aerodynamics of the car either. Anyways, I run Hawk Blue 9012s and usually never do more than ten laps at a time so I haven't had any problems with overheating because the pads were designed for high temperatures. The only problems I have is that it wears down the rotors and pads while driving on the street because they never get up to temperature and they're a harsh compound anyways. Also, I'm not sure if I have caliper problems because it's a fairly new car or a break in or bleeding issue but certain sides of the car, like front right and rear left get a lot hotter than the other sides of the car after hard use, almost cooking the pads and changing the pad paint color from blue to brown. It's possible that I just need to install them with higher precision and break them in better.

 

As you can see in JFO's picture above and this one from the how-to



we mount the air outlet as cose to the center of the brake disk as possible.

 

Sweet. Thanks Rob. I'll go with the robrob motorsports duct kit.

 

Well done Rob and jfo
