George, here is another option should you want to use brake scoop kit instead. When I had them on my other 3.0L, they were excellent when used in conjunction with other "upgraded" componenets. Below is a good link where a lot of people will attest to them, but you can decide for yourself. You may want to look into these as another option. Anyway, I hope this helps you.

I just did this. If your car is stock the fog light ducts are difficult to install due to the stuff behind them. Right side you have the power steering cooler, left side you have the alternator cooing duct. If you can delete or move these things the fog light ducts look like they will pull in a bunch of air.
I ended up going to the OG Racing showroom and picked up the second to last pair of stock replacement ducts that install in place of the stock ducts and terminate in a 3" adapter. Some 3" high temp hose, some spindle adapters from Lindsey , a bunch of cable ties and I was set. This solution did not require any modifications to all the stuff packed in the nose but the OG ducts are hard to find.

There's also a kit sold by Pegasus that looks similar George.

Wow I just noticed the lindsey kit only puts air against the back of the rotor? That seems like a poor design.
I have the OG kit which throws air into the center of the rotor. I also have the ducts that mount in the stock location and connect to the hose.

A quick search turned up this picture of the kit- with a rotor off the car, so you can see what I am talking about.
Look at the picture in the firs post:

If you are referring to these, the majority of the backing plate opening pushes air directly into the opening on the rear of the rotor, pushing air through the rotor itself and out the internal vanes. They actually work very well.

Ted-
The Lindsey kit, which came (originally) from Broadfoot, directs air towards the center portion of the rotor. It's not entirely directed at the inner face, there is some overlap with the opening at the center to the vained portion of the rotor. It's what I'm currently running and I've noticed a small improvement over stock on the track.

I agree with what tjbreen said above, lots of things in the way.
I installed mine as part of a twin ducted oil cooler upgrade, I also had to relocate the power steering cooler. The results are good in terms of cooling, no fade or brake issues on or off the track.

I just ordered the 968 brake scoops from Frozed Rotor. Thanks Rolex for the tip. These will be MUCH better than my current cool brake kit with the PITA hoses that I have to mess with all the time.
Rolex how is your motor coming? My 3.0 motor will be done this week. Then install and tune.

George
