If you run the ducts with the ST60s...won't your pads and rotors last a lot longer? Although you wouldn't HAVE to if you were lazy or just didn't have time.
I really look forward to getting a BBK...the OEM calipers are a minor PIA and I'm very spoiled by the stoptech kit on my E46.

Update: the setup I have pictured a few posts ago does not fit with my new wider fronts and lowered on the KW CS. I ran the ducts stock and they worked, but with the car lowered and running 265 AD08 up front they do not allow enough movement before rubbing.
Yes, bigjae, I would definitely save on pads and rotors if it fit. There may be an alternate mounting solution, but as it sits now the hoses barely allow for any movement of the steering wheel unfortunately. I got ~1 full turn each direction of the wheel stock on 245 PS2. I did not measure the allowed movement with the new setup because it is so little that it probably wouldn't even be sufficient on track, much less on the street. |

From your pic, it looks like maybe you can route the hose over the sway bar instead of just zip tied next to it?

Possibly, but then I risk the sway contacting the hose under compression. There is very little room for hoses now that the car is a lot lower and I have wider rubber. Thankfully the ST60's held up awesome without ducting.

This is awesome! So the piping doesn't get hit by the wheel/tire at all during regular driving??

Potentially stupid question, but is there any utility to simply installing a pass-through in the felt undertray so that air can pass through the bumper and into the wheel well, but without actually ducting it all the way to the rotor?
I ask only because (1) I'm concerned about uneven cooling on the rotor with a system that just blows air onto the back surface without actually pushing air down through the vanes and (2) I don't want to have to deal with the tubing getting crushed. Seems to me that just getting additional cool air in the wheel well might be a good compromise, especially for those of us with a BBK. |

Of course, if you really want ducting, the best way would be to get a backing plate to distribute air through the vanes as you alluded to. |

I modified 997 GT3 front brake deflectors to fit the lower arms in my M3. Works great and all for under $10. There's a post in here how to do it started by me.
