Front Brake Cooling Revamp
Figured I'd share my progress on fixing up my brake system for better cooling/ style points. My system had a few small issues that I wanted to fix.
1. Bigger duct with better routing
2. Better protection for SS brake line
3. New backing plates
At first I was going to try to fit a 3in tube to the back of the rotor like I had my 2in tube previously but there was so much dead cooling space going to the back rotor face versus going towards the hub. My calipers were away getting powider coated when I had the idea to cool from the front so when they got back I worked up a rough visualization and it looks like the front will work way better! My backing plate is a tad bit heavier than the oem one but it is thicker too. Since I don't need to attach a tube to it anymore I may make it out of a thinner material or aluminum as well. Will update as I have more progress.
Anyone think I should worry about cooling rears too?
