I didn’t use a backing plate. Just 4 rivets through the duct and bumper, with a washer on the backside of the bumper.

Most of the pressure is pushing them into place, and it’s never been a problem.

How did you fix the hose to vent through the rotor? Just tied it in place with zip ties?

I made a new backing plate with a 3” inlet. The easiest way though is to just cut the existing g dust shield and river on an off the shelf duct flange. Summit/Amazon/jegs Sell them for cheap.

Just went through all 180+ posts of your thread. What an amazing car, with the right modifications and good thinking behind the choices you make. Congrats and keep it up!

Cool, I will do like you and wait for my TT install to be completed and then install everything. I need to put new steels on my front rotors anyway.

Josh,
I am trying to figure out what StopTech Trophy brakes you used for your car and if they will fit my wheels. I need to upgrade mine. I need some more stopping power.

It’s the Stoptech trophy kit. 380mm fronts

All I can find is 6 piston fronts and 2 piston rears. Is this what you have?

If you go to their website you will find them there. Also check out the overstocked section. The are no deals on the fronts but I believe there are some for the 4 piston rears.
