Default Does anybody have any experience w/brake cooling ducting?...

Did a track day and scorched the brakes. Looking underneath it doesn't seem to be much space for ducting. It seems that every suspension part is in the way! I have an A4, it should be somewhat similar to install. I'm looking for backplate design ideas as well as duct routing. Thanks.

Default Yep

We've had ours available for a few years now.
Full stainless, tig welded 2.5" diameter ducting is used. Bolt on replacement for the existing dust shield.

Routing the ducting is the most difficult part.<ul><li><a href="http://www.purems.com/products/description.php?II=929&amp;CA=310&amp;PA=3">Backin g Plates</a></li></ul>

I gave up trying to fit the ducts. I just bleed more Motul in and save myself the frustration.

Default B5 S4 is difficult to run the hoses......... A4 on the other hand works great!
