Westersund has a universal duct that may work for that, but I'm going to opt to run without and check back after seeing how performance is.

The rear kit works naturally as well--only thing worth mentioning is the stock dust shields do need to get cut back on the caliper side. I'm also going to drill some additional holes in for cooling.

Essex actually recommends not running brake cooling, but my suspicion is this is mostly due to other brake cooling designs not appropriately pointing air and using dust covers that aren't vented.

Thanks for sharing that info!
