Zip ties are strong, especially multiples.

yes , once you have these ducts in your hands you can see how you can make then fit nice and snug. the ducts have hooks in them that you can make hook onto the grooves of the control arms then zip tie down. i can grab and pull mine with no movement.

Not a bad price for the kit itself.
Looks like the shipping on those to US or Canada is around $30. I just ordered a set. Pricier than the GT3 ducts, but they look like they might funnel air a bit better, and would be more adjustable in terms of height and angle. Plus, in car dollars, $100 is like 10...

Haven't had issues with overheating since I upgraded to a Stoptech kit in the front, but I expect this will still help prolong pad life in long sessions, if nothing else.

Edit: now just need to avoid eating any more cones! Broke one of my rear ducts that way.

These $8 versions are going on the rear stock brakes. I'm running trophy's up front with standard hose ducts already.

I'll be the opposite, mostly because of wanting to stay legal for STR. Using the rear ducts from @roel03 with 3" hoses to the stock rear brakes.

Except when cold and they don't look the greatest. I did end up buying a set of these. I mean for $20 bucks, if I don't like them, they will look great in the trash. lol

Yeah, for the money, why not? Definitely try to hang them down into the air stream as much as possible.

I assume you are wondering about the cold part. A zip tie in freezing temps is not strong at all. Hard plastic just shatters. I live in WI, so this can be a a concern... I don't drive my car year round, but some do and zip ties wouldn't work for them. Not saying its an issue for everyone, but why I prefer nuts and bolts.
