I have never suffered brake fade but the whole wheel area gets hot and sometimes the wheel bolts are hot to handle.....

Do you think i might have another issue if things are getting that hot???

No - I have the same symptoms on track which I believe is quite normal. As said before, unless you are actually getting fade or other brake loss issues, then cooling ducts may well be more of a hindrance with airflow disruption than help IMHO.

No you dumb eel farmer

we all get hot brakes and even mine are going grey (will get them serviced this winter though)

you've only got somethin wrong if they get scorching driving down the road to Bernards

My only issue was warping the ap discs, I feel i warmed up and cooled downed sufficiently but 1 wet and 1 dry oulton park saw my wheel shaking violently under any braking, no residue on discs either, so im not a happy chappy im now on pf discs ill see how they are

I think you need seminar by Fuchsroehre !!!
Brake solutions - Fuchsroehre Engineering and Associates
CSL brake best practises
1. You throw away the BBK and stick back the single piston diamonds
2. You lift the foot from the left petal (the small petal)

2.1 If you cannot overcome it mentally, take out the brake pedal, it will help you !

A load of the MLR guys run DS2500 and rate them but they are wank on a CSL, goes to show that different cars like different mods...

wank on track but good on the road (but fine on the rear brakes track and road)
