cooling ducts / backing plates
picked up a GT4 lip that I'd like to get installed this winter, but wasn't sure if there was a consensus vendor for backing plates and the ducting itself. what have people been using? i found these guys, but i assume there's something stateside too:

i just installed Burkhart Engineering carbon brake cooling plates and 63 mm hoses to a gt4 lip. Went together very well. The hole in the carbon cooling plate is centered half way between the rotor center hat and inner rotor face, but seems like air would want to move back toward the center hat when the car is at speed.
Does it work? I have no idea yet, but we will find out Dec 1 at Road Atlanta.

I’ve been running the Hard
Motorsports brackets which direct air to the inside of the rotor ring, which it needs to be for maximum effect. Perfect fitment and no issues.

short of re-bending that standoff to be shorter I'm not sure these are usable..

Nice. 685/1028 lbf/in rates should work well. 700/1000 lbf/in is a common setup on MCS dampers. MCS 2WR dampers are still decent on the street at those rates but you can reduce C damping which really makes things civilized.

I ordered the AliExpress ones. They showed up quickly, were cheap and the quality is surprisingly very good, especially for the money.
The inlet is quite small (haven't measured it yet), so I'll need to source some smaller tubing, but I think they'll work well... |

can you do a test fit? mine didn't line up at all, and wouldn't clear the rotor with the standoff the way it is.

I can't test fit them on the car - it's currently away in storage. I do have a set of Storm uprights though that I can see if the holes up line at all. But in terms of rotor clearance, I won't know until the spring when everything gets installed. |

also the video isn't for the ali kit, it's for whoever they knocked off (unless I misunderstood it)

Good thread. Has anyone run the Porsche GT3 air deflectors on the suspension arms?

Follow-up... The Aliexpress specials DO NOT fit. I tested them on my storm uprights I have sitting waiting to be installed, and they are not even close to lining up properly.
