Anyone with brake cooling ducts?

RE: Anyone with brake cooling ducts?
Are you talking about actual functional brake ducts on an 05+? If so then I've not seen anyone with it yet. If you're talking about the stick on side scoops, I put a pair on just 2 nights ago...

actually agent 47 has a kit, but i want to build mine. this is what i've heard. get a ton of zip ties, buy some silicone duct hose (2.5-3.5 inch) and run them from the front directly to the center of the front rotors. to get them to the back is hard. u should be able to run them down the control arms in the front or something like that.

Are you racing your car? Brake ducts are only needed in the most extreme driving conditions. This and a lot of states wont allow fog lights to be your headlight. I know Agent 47 requires you to remove a headlight for the duct to be installed. Be really careful if this is a street driver because you may be spending a lot of money and time on something you will have to fix after a fix it ticket for no front headlight.

besides, the fade in this car sucks. that's why im investigating. any time i get above 100mph and want to slow down, it is a slow slow down otherwise that horrible grinding from overheated pads. moore if ur from s.fl. i will work on a homemade kit w/ u one day. we'll get em both done. i was at home depot the other day and they didnt appear to have the proper hosing. then i looked online for silicone duct hoses and they seemed more expensive than the agent 47 kit. what gives?

Could it just be the pads (causing the fade)? When I used to road race long ago, I used Hawk brake pads and they made a world of difference in the braking power and fade. See http://www.hawkperformance.com/performance/
