We finally feel like it is time to let the cat out of the bag.

It is no secret that because of the torque vectoring, these cars like to heat the brakes up quickly.

We decided it was time to fix this well-known issue. Our goal was to make a piece that did not require to you make unfavorable cosmetic alterations like removing fog lights as you have to do with some of the competitor kits on the market. The plan was simple, we wanted to make something that worked, but was also discreet.

Pics/pricing will be coming out very very shortly.

To heat up brakes, car was driven on a closed course and the brakes were aggressively applied to quickly slow the car from 40 mph to 20 mph, the repeated until the target temperature of approx 500F degrees was reached.

For cooling, the car was driven on a close course for 1.5 miles at 40 mph. First to obtain a cool down temperature as a result of natural heat dissipation, and then repeated with the brake deflectors installed to channel fresh air onto the hub assembly.

these are just teaser pictures right? If this is it, then how is the air being diverted to the assembly?

I really hope these work out as the car sure can use them, simple install, low weight, should have a modest price....thanks for taking the time to address a very well known issue.

Now we need some serious track testing results:)

I am building full race ducts with a way to shut them until needed, if not I would give these a try!
