Brake cooling

Have anyone here built a brake cooling solution for the front brakes on the m2, I think it's needed for track usage when using stock calipers.

Recently installed them on front axle, rear axle not yet tried.

Works fine on track, due to very limited clearance they sometimes in compressions hit track ground, but sustain well with a few scratches.

Result is fine during recent track day, tire temp never exceeded 65° at appr 15° outside. In sessions before w/o cooler they hit 80°. Can not comment on brake fading improvement, as simultanously I changed pads from OEM to Endless.

Customer service with this company is terrible. I received my kit with no scoops. Sent numerous emails to rectify this situation with no response.

Check out my post on brake cooling DIY. My set up has been used on over a dozen track days with lots of time on track including back to back sessions, using temp strips the front calipers hover around 400 so I think they are working.
