I read a long time ago about the brake cooling ducts on the C5 Z06's... and I was thinking...

I'm moving my foglights into the grill anyways, so why not use those foglight holes in the nose to make brake cooling ducts. This car may never see a dragstrip again, as I've become more interested in autocross, and brake warpage has been a serious problem for me until I got my Baer Eradispeeds.

Has anyone done this? Or tried? Or have any advice to offer in the process?

I wasn't sure whether to post this in suspension & brakes, or paint and body, but since it has a functional purpose, I put it here.

Here's a thread about cooling ducts.

Lots of good road race tech there!

I guess I should have done a search... for some reason, I thought I'd be the first to post about this... lol. Thanks for the help guys. I'll post pics when I get this done, found a nice kit to make it easy on myself. PM if you want info on the kit I found.

Yeah there's a company that makes two different kits. One takes air in from the foglight holes, and the other uses a setup similar to those super sucker ram air kits.

I have been looking at the Severn duct kits but then I look
at my chrome 10-spoke rims and figure, they're better than
80% open air anyway and stir it up good so how much cooling
would I really gain, for 5+ pounds of nose weight and a potential
steering bind?

I think it makes more sense for a more solid wheel but question
the benefit if the rim is "airy" to begin with.
