In an earlier post someone said Ford did not recommend brake ducts installed for street use on the Shelbys. Has anyone heard this? I have had brake ducts on my 2006 Steeda since new. I street drive and run it at the track and have never had any problems. I was just wondering what Ford said on the Bosses.

Of course you can always install the ducts and then make a couple of plugs for the valence so that street debris and "overcooling" won't be an issue while away from the track.

Do you need cooling duct for the street - No. But if you do a lot of weekend track duty, just leave them on and put street pads on for the street.

I don't get this logic. Street pads are made to have a high level of friction when cold. So as long as you don't run track pads on the street you'll be fine. I have cooling ducts installed (all the time, even in the winter) on my M3 and never have a problem stopping with my street pads (Hawk HPS).
