I thought this was the point, lmao! Jusssst kidding...this is just how the car was set up when I bought it. I'm not even sure I would need em for what I am going to use the car for, but eh, their there and not bothering anyone so they stay.

Buy my BBK bitch and you won't have to worry about brake ducts. Comes with all the race pads YOU'RE going to need.

I would, but your shit is too expensive.

Who the FUCK needs brakes? I ain't driving to stop, I'm driving to go places!

I need to get a decent setup before I worry about keeping them cool.

Laur3ns 09-27-2009 04:02 AM

Drive like a girl = no need for brakes.
Drive like a man = need BBK w/ducting.

Simple as that.

I took the factory "scoop" in the dust shield, did some snipping to bend it out, then extended it a few inches with some aluminum sheet and rivets. Now the scoop isn't shadowed by the wheel, instead it sticks into the air stream.

I did it to one side first, then did some brake-boosting, then stopped and compared left and right rotor temps with an IR thermometer. I got significantly lower temps.

Read it here from back in 2004, with pictures, bitches:

I have no ducting as of yet... if I still crack them after that, I'm either fast or brake too much - probably the latter.

I have a pair of those Mazdacomp/SpeedSource brake ducts sitting in a box collecting dust :(
Something tells me they'll be useless with my 12.5" Brembo rotors. Should I sell them?
