Default Beta Tester - Big Brake Caliper Cooling Spacers

We are always working on new enhancement kits for the 996 gen cars. The latest is a brake caliper cooling spacer for those converting/converted to 350 mm front rotors. Sorry, I cannot put up a picture as the part is quite unique. Looking for a second guinea pig car. It would be for front rotors on 996 turbo. I'll supply bolts, cooling spacers and instructions for bolt on fitment. You supply bigger 350 mm front rotors (Sebro, Girodisc, etc.), unless you already have them. Cost is 50% of retail plus shipping. email me (see below - signature) if interested. Picture below shows bigger rotor, and is from instructions:

I have the girodisc kit already, I assume those bolts could be reused. I don't track but would consider trying it if you PM a little more info and pricing.

This is a very common mod and already many people who make this kit including myself. Sold many over the past few years.

I think he must be designing a spacer that not only moves the caliper outboard but incorporates a "winglet" to create more airflow.

No way those will work with 18" wheels and 350mm discs...I have to file my wheels weights a little to clear
