do r-package air-dam brake ducts work?
do they work at all, and do I want to use 2.5" or 3" brake duct hose? I'm running out of time and not going to make a splitter for this car...yet.

When you come in to town, come by Gary's. Look at his setup; which I am doing as well. Your original plan with modified dust shields will be the same thing (essentially).
As for the 2.5" to 3" - find out what Gary has, as he has nice clearance around his relocated filter and oil cooler.
R lip will work - IF the ducts are plumbed. They are crap as they are now.

Gary's **** points air at the friction area of the rotors, not the hub. I'll emale that ho.

I hope the R-pack lip works, I plan on using mine. I know when I had my air filter behind it for a week I was getting nothing but straight ambient, and my N/A motor was tearing around like a raped gorilla.
I'm sure some decent ducting would do the trick. I've wondered though what happens when it rains. I'd hate to warp rotors, maybe a small S-trap would fix this, but certainly cut down on flow rate to the hubs.

No one has done anything I like yet. I'd like to buy the sheilds from ISC racing, but they won't make them big enough for my brakes.
I've already forgone the splitter, top fuel wing, oil pump gear, and a few other things. The brakes won't go more than a few laps without ducting.

You should.....it's the great equalizer and has no conscience to your raping skills. Makes for a better and well rounded driver. 
As far as how "indepth" or "indebt" you would like to go....that is only up to YOU. Think of it this way.....Americans spend millions of dollars to invent a pen to write in weightlessness; the Russians just use pencils. Same end result - just less drama.
