Calling all vendors - front brake ducting

For what its worth I have had no heat issues with my brake setup on the track and I have put them through some serious abuse the past few events.

For what its worth I have had no heat issues with my brake setup on the track and I have put them through some serious abuse the past few events. Not even a hint of fade, stock rotors look fine, pads look great, etc. Here's my setup...

Stock sport pkg. BBK
Stock rotors
Challenge SS brake lines
Carbotech Pads (XP10 front/XP8 rear)
AMSOIL fluid

I don't really think front brake ducts are necessary personally. At least not until these cars start getting much faster. If someone gave me a set I would use them, don't get me wrong, but its not on my to do list yet.

Have you inspected your calipers for damage to the boots? I think it was Mike that managed to cook his off in one day.

I haven't looked in there after these last two events, but after my first 3 events they were fine.
