Brake cooling ducts: Any interest?

[Arin@APR]

And what, are they going to do the aftermarket part special and make it out of C A R B O N F I B R E?

We understand there are OEM options. Our plan is to make something bigger, or better, and be competitively priced. To be competitively priced, we'll use an appropriate material to get to those price points.

That doesn't mean we'll make this product. We're trying to gather interest before doing so. There's a high dollar amount of investment in tooling to do this right.

Here's the flange I used at the bumper. Really nice pieces, and cheap.

I don't have a good solution for directing air directly to the back of the rotors, which is why my comments on page 2 requested that piece. My fab skills are lacking. Essentially, I'm using the RS3 ducts as a way to attach the ducting, and likely getting minimal performance. I only ran 2" ducts, as there's just not ton of room to fish ductwork through the engine bay. 2.5" would work... not sure if 3" would without cutting more.

APR, this is what we want.

X2. I have my hoses ran the same way because I can't figure out a backing plate that works with a stoptech st40 bbk
