Question Sti8 Brake Cooling

Are there any kits on the market for getting cooling to the front discs? I've done a search and cannot find anything, which I find unusual.

At present I'm running std disks, ds2500 pads, better fluid and goodridge hoses. Discs have a slight wobble and are getting skimmed later in the week.

I know that I'll have to upgrade to either the Godspeed kit (I see Ian is banned!!) or melt the plastic for AP's, but I'm insurance restricted for a couple of months. So looking for something that may help them getting killed on trackdays.

Thanks, John

The Size of the Brembo callipers makes for half the heat problems - they stick out more than AP callipers and aren't as wide, so that heat's not getting dispaited quickly enough. The AP's are flatter and have a wider surface area so they get rid of the heat a lot better.

I love my 6-pot AP's - even with the bit of vibration I'm getting at the moment (soon to be fixed with a change of pads), they shed speed with amazing ease and no fade.

Heard ravs about the 4-pots as well which are a bit cheaper again, but for the money, the new 352mm disc set with the 6-pot callipers is great value for an AP kit IMO
