Que pasa boricua !!! :beer:


Here's some information on a brake cooling kit that will work:

It is a little on the spendy side (~$350) but it will get the job done...

Where are you doing the autocross in the Island?

I'm originally from Aibonito and currently live in Dallas, TX... Boy do I miss the food from back home...

How many 03 Cobra's have you seen in the island?

Take care,:burnout:

You arent going to get much if any benefit from cooling ducts in a autocross. They are just to short to cause the brakes to get that hot. In fact, if you are running a pad compound that is meant to be working in a certain temperature range, you might actually be hurting performance.

If you get into open tracking where you are out there for sustained periods, then a ducting kit is a great idea.

Cobra-R: Great point. Many talk of adding cooling to their street cars and as you point out, that "upgrade" would likely cause performance loss.
