C4 brake cooling

That's nice if you have a 'real race car' and can bring the hose in the nose and around the frame and suspension from the back. I don't think 4" hose will come close to comming from the air dam and across the front of the lower A arm with the wheel at full lock in an autocross or street car.

What size wheels? My stock 17x9.5" and these C5 at 18x9.5" with 285/40s clear OK. I think I put a little oval in the hose at one point.

I run 17x10.5 for the street and 17x11 for the track. I also have a 3" hose instead of 2.5" I dont really see a way for this to work without cutting holes in the inner fender to run the hose. As of now I just cut it shorter so it is closer to the mount for the LCA instead of being up by the rotor. It should still be effective until I can figure out a better way. Also, the car is on jackstands. Ill see if it gets better when the car is on the ground but Im not sure it will.

FWIW with the inner fenders installed and 17 X 9.5's, I was never able to get 3" dia hose to work. I am using 2.5" and it was still rubbing at full lock. I am using wire enforced silicone hose and it does not lend itself to forming as well as non reinforced plastic hose into an oval shape.

Try going over the top then like my bottom picture in the set. It looks like the hood prop rod might be in the way just a little though.
