Post Brake cooling kit

Any one out there fitted one of these to your 968? If so where did you get it from and has it worked? <img src="graemlins/yltype.gif" border="0" alt="[typing]" />

You can also use the 968 Club Sport coolers. These are scoops that attach to the control arm and strut. You can get them from Diversified Cryo (he has a 968) <a href="http://www.frozenrotors.com." target="_blank">www.frozenrotors.com.</a>

Interesting. My plain-vanilla '94 already had 'em when I bought it (2 years+ ago). The new struts I installed also had the needed brackets for remounting the upper part. I've always just assumed that they were standard equipment...???

Jim, and we all know what 'assume' means....

I have a 968 Club Sport and the scoops do appear to be part of the original equipment. Having read an article recently about the myths of brake warping(see thread on 993 list - it's worth reading) I think I will pay more attention to pad and disc breaking in procedure than brake cooling for the moment(I'm a trackday junkie rather than a real racer).

Thanks guys.

I don't get this thread.
ALL 968's have a front brake cooling mechanism in place.
