Default ***ECS Brake Duct Cooling Kit***

We have been testing these and they are working great. We are using the DRM brake ducts and we made our own spindle kits. The complete kits are $368 Feel free to call us with any questions.

stoptech are really sweet. I was behind Doug and he can go real deep. People that dont know he has stop tech he actually worries about because if they try to stop when he does they are going off course.

Been running the ECS brake cooling system and it is great. Had a few people check them out this Monday at Pocono. Even with destroying a caliper the ECS Spindle Duct held up without a problem.

Overall the only way to keep your rotors cool is to get fresh air to them. D/S rotors dont work, but this does.

The spindels piece alone is $169 Adam, the hose usually comes with the DRM duct, but we can order that seperately. I just need to check pricing on that, but they are not much.

Whats with the heat shielding on the bushings at the top and bottom of the spindles connecting the a-arms... does that help with the dynamic alignment changes at all? I was a bit bummed that I would have to shell out $6k for LG's spindles with sphyrical bearings.

That is only there because after a handfull of hot laps the rotors can get hot enough to melt the boots on the upper and lower ball joints. The heat wrap gives enough of a barrier to prevent that.

LG's spindles are a great product, and offer alignment options that stock spindles do not offer. You would have to be a pretty serious racer before you would need that.

here is one to ponder, can't you just pipe a air conditioning duct down there?

How much for the hose? All my local suppliers have 3 inch duct but not the 4 inch duct that goes with the DRM kit. I need to replace the hose that came with my DRM kit since it has taken quite a bit of abuse.

In a road course car the ac would practicly never come on because of throttle possition, plus heat is always an issue so you would want to keep the condensor from getting warm. Good idea though Edgar
