Rear Brake Ducts

Has anyone installed/made rear brake ducts?

I think dmichaels has. He was the only one on the forum as far as I know.

P.S. why do you ask? Do you see a need for it at track days? I'm curious because with the weight transfer there is very little the rears are doing anyway (with no additional aero anyway), so in my opinion the return on investment is very diminished unless you're driving 10/10ths.

Mainly for track days, partly for the cool factor. Some Supersnakes and the fr500s had them. There like $20 for the 911 gt3, but don't think those particular ones would work when attached to the lca.

Here is a couple of simple alternatives to help cool those rear brakes.

yeah dmichaels had some fairly simple DIY ones on his car, basically some scoops under the car with duct leading to the brake area

for practical purposes, I think if you install the GT500 rear brake rotors, the rear brake overheating problem is solved
