Maybe.... I have a lot of other projects i want to do first after this.

 

Why? I've never heard of that being necessary on our cars... Are you racing your car for extended periods of time?

 

I plan on tracking my car as much as I can afford.

But my main reason for asking that question, is because I'd like to make to a DGRR.

Judging by the looks of the dragon, brake fade seems like a possibility.

 

I don't think you'd experience as much brake fade as you would think....

 

I can't see you doing anything on public roads (like the dragon) that is going to tax the stock brakes like that.

 

you wont fade the rear.. unless you have BS pads. just run some HP+ back there if you're worried about it.

 

Thanks guys!

We should be starting on the mold Wednesday or Thursday.

So lets get the deposits in!

 

I got the pieces in today and will start on the mold asap.

Some one ask about the disk measurement so here are some pics i just took....

 

Wow...finally! :-)

How much of a difference did you notice between these and your current dedicated set-up?

 

I did not have enough time on the fully ducted setup to compare.
I never had any brake fade issues with the CWR ducts (AP BBK and race pads) but I would crack front rotors (slotted and solids) from heat well before they were near the wear limit.
The fully ducted was to help with the rotor cracking issue. Fully ducted on the street really isn't a good idea however due to the compromises. I'll probably go back to the CWR ducts as my FD doesn't get tracked nearly enough to warrant the fully ducted setup.
FWIW

Hey just got an idea, what about fabbing up an adjustable inlet for your front ducts?

 

^^^^

The compromise in fully ducted setup isn't over-cooling so much as there's really no way to avoid rubbing with the front wheel because there's no place to route the hose.

 

Correct!


If you want this piece then right now is a good time bc the price will go up after the group buy.

 

Especially with 285/30 18 front tires!

For anything other than a fully setup track car these ducts are going to be a great addition to brake cooling. Not the perfect, but for a combo street/track car these are perfect...which is why CWR developed them in the first place!!!

i figured out rub-free routing on my FC with 3" ducting. tire hits sway bar first. i realize this is FD stuff- is there really no room in there?

i havnt been able to figure out a "plug" for my inlets yet, so i just drive around with them, but im mainly concerned with rocks/leaves/rodents/etc flying in there while driving.

 

What rotors were you using? Have you considered AP J hooks?

 

Cryo treated AP rotors and Coleman HD rotors

FC and FD are completely different. The FC wheel well is like the grand canyon compared to the FD. I ran fully ducted front brakes in my old FC ITS car as well.

You can run ducted in a FD, depending on wheels/tyres.

A piece of annealed alloy tubing that's appropriately banged up at the limits of lock and using two bits of scat rather than one, should yield the desired result. Probably not a good idea with aggressive pads on the street, unless blanking them off entirely...and even then....
