Not required for rear brakes.

Interesting. Does the GT3 RS or Cup come with these?

I think only the GT2. Would have to check PET. We really don't need these BTW The front brakes do all the work particularly in a track environment.

yeah... thought so, considering 80% of the stopping power comes from the front brakes...

Yeah, I saw those. I'm going to get a set before I go out on the track again.
I usually leave the traction control on on the track ( I know, call me featherfoot but I'll blame it on the tires that the TC comes on at 100MPH at Pacific Raceway) which cooks the rear brakes pretty good. I usually have to bleed the rear brakes between sessions and what do you know, only the inside of the rear calipers has bubbles coming out. These ducts should hopefully solve the problem.
$68 each at Sunset.

Standard parts on 996 GT2 and 996 GT3.
At an MSRP of $80 each - In a 996 I doubt your rear brakes get hot enough to need these (IMHO).
