Ways to keep stock front brakes cooler?
I'm trying to come up with an way of routing a cool airflow to my front brakes as they get too hot and I keep cracking rotors. I will be upgrading the brakes but not right now.
Thanks for any suggestions

well the easiest, cheapest, and most effective way of doing so. Is getting some dryer duct hose and routing it from teh front of your car to the back by the rotor. That way routing cold air to the rotors cooling them down. This helps ALOT I'm serious too. My freind who does SCCA said his brakes went from glowing red hot to just hot just by doing this.

Do a GOOGLE search for "NACA ducts". The small ones will integrate into either your lower spoiler or fender and allow you to run a hose to cool the brake rotors.
