Brake Cooling Duct Selection & Install

Spun Crankhub · 11-17-2020, 12:21 AM

This is a great thread, with some good insight. I am working on diy'ing a kit using oem rotor shields and getting a mold based off the left and right belly pan pieces just in front of the wheel.
I will be integrating the ducting with my aftermarket CS front lip.
By doing it this way I intend to not have anything sit any lower than the front lip which does have signs of track curbage paint, thus it is an incontrovertible fact that I would damage them at the track in short order if I went with the low slung ducts.

Those look to be the standard ones, $1100 at Costco.
Best purchase I have ever made for my modding. No more struggling crawling around on my back when working on exhaust, suspension, or oil changes. I fit under on a creeper with adequate space above me.

What means standart to you? They have at least 5 or 6 different types of Quick Jacks. I cant see any "standart" there.

That QuickJack looks just like mine; the BL-5000SLX. Best investment I've ever made for DIYing.

They sell them by weight lifting capacities. I have the 5000 series one, which can as the name implies lift 5000 lbs.

2nd this. I'm looking for this kit - really just the heatshield/dustshield. I think I'm going to try rigging something up using RKP (or replica) ducts from the front bumper - to avoid the low ducts.

Hey, reviving this old thread. Do you guys think these rotor shields be fitted to f30 blue 370mm Blue M-sport front brakes?

Does anyone know if the mounting locations for the rotor shield are different between f80 and f30?
