Cheers and great find!
as focus said above..and if you look at the original first 2 pics in my first post you will see what focus talks about..

The duct you speak of, basically channels air from the front bumper into the wheel well directly into the face of the spinning tire.

The key to any type of Brake duct / scoop / flap / is to channel incoming air into the center of the rotor to maximize cooling thru the rotor ( and also cool the bearing as a added benefit)

hope that helps...


BTW i still havent gotten the right side backing plate. its still on back order

hopefully i get it by next friday as i have an event on saturday !!
