Default GT4RS axle/bearing cooling ducts

Got those in and thought I post some close ups prior to install.

Cool, are these from Alekshop or from Porsche Motorsports? Where did you purchase them from, and the cost (if you dont mind sharing)

From my dealer who got them from Porsche Motorsports, same place Alekshop get theirs.

The parts retail for $176.54 + $15 S&H each from Porsche Motorsports. So your final price is dependent on your dealer if they will charge ADM or give you a PCA discount if any.

Lovetoturn posted on the track setup thread that the units Aleks is offering appeared to be modified so as not to affect the brake cooling ducts but that take never went anywhere. Has anyone installed these and can give FB about that?

Don’t own those -> don’t know.

Much appreciated. This is what I wanted to clarify.

This is a very worthwhile mod for any cars that see the track. I had one axle overheat and one bearing discharged its grease all over the inside of the wheel well on my 992 GT3.

Porsche also created a much more robust set of rear axle cooling ducts for the 992 RS that are compatible with GT3 at a very reasonable price. I think Porsche hopes that owners will be attracted to do this mod at the low cost (will save Porsche warranty repairs/replacements of many axles).

Just tried doing this with jack stands. Not enough of a contortionist. Recommend you have availability of a lift. Debating to try again through wheel well with rotor removed and caliper out of the way.
