Hi guys, i have SS brake hose, rs29 pads, new disc. one night we went out for a drive, had around 2-3 continuous hard brakes, then the brake fade at my next hard brake,
I think it is the brake with no cooling, even i install a BBK on it, it still has no brake cooling in the csl.

what do you guys do to the brake cooling?

i thought of this:
4459

Best setup I've seen is a pair of NCA ducts on the bottom of the engine plastic tray with ducting out into the wheel well and behind the brake disc - very clean and functional and retains that OEM look.

If you have done all you can with standard calipers, move to AP front kit or similar. That doesn't fade at all in my experience and most others on here.

As Alex says if you go with front AP set up the extra cooking with the bigger ventilated discs are more than adequste

So you guys mean that no brake cooling is needed for this car?
I havent had the fluid change for 1year



I probably will go for the Alcon CSL cup setup from thorney if i do go for a BBK.

Most prefer AP and you'll save a few $$. Honestly, you don't need anything more.;)
