Go for it! I saw some great Porsche deflectors on the lower control arms that I'd like to try since my valence panel doesn't have cooling holes.

Go for it, especially if you decide to track the car. You will have to secure them to the imput holes in your front bumper and run them along the A-arms to specially made backing plates at the rotors. Watch your routing that a) when your front wheels are at full turn lock they don't graze them, and b) that pon compression of the suspension, the body tub does not pound down on them smashing/severing them. I attach mine with cable ties so they break loose easily in case of a driver error...LOL!

Good luck,

Nick

There are a couple of suggestions in the Tech Area here at Rennlist.

Dual Purpose Street Track Mods. 911SC FAQ

Not much in the way of 'how to' but I guess it's suggestions for proven stuff that works.

Yes, a lot of us have done it. Check out the Racing Forum and check the archives on 911 brake ducts.
