If you don’t want to pull the ducting off, can you tape over the inlets on cool days?

Bingo, and yes ductape over the scoops is enough to block em off.

Went to the track Sunday and they performed amazingly I think the cooling still adds value as in my mind cooler brakes are longer lasting brakes.

Looking at some data I finally got it seems I still need to stomp on them harder and more determinedly

@daap1193 on here did some coding magic on my brakes and now they are amazingly linear + repeatable corner after corner. They require a bit more effort than I want but we are sorting that out.

ZM2 how do the suspension bushings fare on full slicks? I am tempted to try some...
