Brake cooling/induction?
Is there any benefit to installing ducts vectoring air on stock rotors, or is it just another "mod" that doesn't do anything?

Id think it would help on road racing/autox where your rotors can get very hot.
During normal driving, i seriously doubt it.

I have ducts from DRM and they help alot when I AutoX or do open track days but for normal street I dont think it will benefit anything

The reason I ask is because my brakes get pretty hot when I go driving on mountain roads. I tend to drive "aggressively" and I've noticed my brakes don't perform as well about an hour into the drive.

Id first think about other things that can cause brake fade, but if youre running good pads, the right fluid, and youve bled them properly, then this might work out for you.
