do r-package air-dam brake ducts work?
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.

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.

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?
