Extra Brake Cooling, someone tested?!

[Wide]

Someone who had tried this?, looks very easy to attach.. But will it work?

Yes!, but that was i little bit harder to mount?!..

From what I've read they (brake ducts in general) seem to work well on these cars. The option from Stertman seems simpler to install also. The question is do you really need them? Have you found the discs becoming overly hot?

I understand that the brakes will last longer with this when you drive hard!

I have order them from Stertman ( the company who tune Jon Olssons fun cars ) . 

A youtube review is coming!

Sub!

I have order them from Stertman ( the company who tune Jon Olssons fun cars ) now! This is a OEM part från VW..

I imagine with only a few exceptions, it would be nearly impossible to get the brakes to work that hard on any public road to be able to make a difference because of the brake ducts (unless you are repetitively accelerating and braking for some test). Stock PP setup should be more than up to the job and the biggest benefit from the ducts would be just in knowing you have them on the car    For track use though I think it's a welcome mod.

But if you already went for them even better for us, we can enjoy your installation video

I'd be inclined to make sure you've done the usual cheap brake upgrades first.... better fluid, replacement lines, replacement pads (remembering of course that race grade pads last for race distance only!)

I did this on my old bike

Yes the PP brakes are great, and you probably don´t need any better on the road!. But many people upgrade them, and this is a cheap way to start upgrade

But think this is better to start with  . The upgrade you talk about is around 500 Euro on my car. And this is only a 90 Euro upgrade

You probably don't need disc ducted cooling though until you've already dealt with fluid and hoses and having some proper grippy pads to generate the heat already and of course some proper hard driving (which you won't do on the road at these levels). Only track driving will push OEM braking beyond its limits, you need continual max braking over like 20-30 mins of a track session before you'll see any noticeable fade on OEM gear.

90 euros down the drain I politely suggest...
