    In regard of brake cooling, the ducts should not only bring air to cool down the rotors from the center with a radial dispersion, cooling both faces equally (you don't want a cold face and a hot face), but also it cools down wheel bearings and makes them last longer.

    If you don't track your car or don't live in the mountains (loosing your brakes going down a steep hill ain't fun), then you don't need air ducts as they can even have detrimental effects on your brakes by not allowing them to warm up.

      Based on the quality of the kit I just bought from this man I would listen to pretty much EVERYTHING he has to say...

          The new street kit. Not only was it more in my price range but it leaves the wheel options open too. It works so well I think I'm going to have to re-install my ABS though, on the track it will probably be ok but on the street I tend to lock up if I panic. I wish there were less raccoons around here...
