Default Show Me Your Brake Ducts

I'm looking to extend tracktime on my blobeye STI with Brembos.
I'll be using the foglight covers and possibly the chassis rails as ducting as the Americans do.

I'm just wondering what people in this country are doing...

Im tempted to do this



And then enlist the help of skilled friends & family members to make these out of aluminium instead of carbon:

Do you have any pictures of the ducting/hoses behind the bumper? Did you use the plates that fix to the dust shield on the back of the brakes?

Perfect! Are those corvette ducts readily available? Your car is stunning by the way.

Hi there

As you know on the normal WRX or STI you have there arch liners in the way of better cooling,you can try to modify or not to use any arch liners which should help with the better cooling brakes.

What brakes are you currently running ? And what pads are you currently running ?

Thanks,Jura
