New brake cooling ducts and backing plates from Cantrell

TX335 · 05-11-2012, 05:38 PM

I'd be interested as well.

i find this a little odd. i didnt like how cantrells ducts where routed and put together, and they were 2.5 inch so did my own with gt4 ducts and 3 inch then sent colin pictures of my finished product. like magic they have a kit like mine? i used gt4 ducts in the same location and dont have backing plates either yet but seems strange.

Looks good. But my neck is stiff!!

lol, I feel blood rushing to my head...

This is nice but I still like the idea of using the OEM heatshield and some $10 flanges riveted on. Much less expensive, just as functional.

I like the idea of 2.5" hose since it will be easier to route.

2.5 inch hose makes it a lot easier (possible) to avoid clearance issues which allows the kit to be permanent.

You are correct sir. I'm ruuning my kit just to the fender liner now with 3 inch tubing. I haven't went to the backing plates yet for this reason. Think I may do the second section in 2.5 inch or run it without as I am already seeing big improvements in brake cooling.

$515 for the complete bare aluminum kit
$615 for powder coated
Approx $715 for carbon fibre

Its cheaper, and it fits.

Pm sent

Where's the extra material to shield the tie rod end (backing plates are still round)?

I've only seen the pics Cantrell sent me. Colin Cantrell told me that they have fixed that issue. I will know when my stuff arrives

klammer · 05-13-2012, 11:24 AM

I'd be in on a GB

Singletrack · 05-13-2012, 01:08 PM

Interested in group buy as well.

Porschefile · 05-13-2012, 02:57 PM

So who is our group buy concierge? I am planning on giving them a call soon but will hold off if someone is planning a GB for real (not that we know that they'd be down to do one).

Really just waitin for a review. Plan on purchasing if reviews are good, group buy or not. It is always nice to save some $$$ though.

Porschefile · 05-13-2012, 03:15 PM

If the backing plates fit decently then it does its job and I'd buy it. Having 2.5" ducts force air to your rotors at speed absolutely will cool the brakes a ton, it just is a matter of backing plate fitment. And since they've made plates before for our cars I figure it should be okay.

Would these be good if you were to upgrade to BBK's?

Here is the photo of the new backing plates and ducts - just received from Colin Cantrell.
Still comes out upside down - does anyone know why?

VictorH · 05-14-2012, 06:51 PM

Cool looking forward to your install. Do the stock backing plates mount with only 2 bolts too?
