We've decided to stop offering the carbon brake cooling ducts because our testing has shown they make no difference in the cooling of the rotors.

I used to think this kit was a bit hackish, but after driving 7racer's GT-R I gotta say it was very impressive with the Endless W007 pads. Very responsive, great pedal feel, virtually no noise, and look fantastic. Based on his track testing it seems to be extremely effective too. Maybe someday I will get a chance to punish these on a racetrack... lol
anytime you want to do an event at MSR when you are back in town let's go!

I will say that the kit has been great. I have had issues with mostly the install as the fitment in my 09 was a bare. Thank fully Jotech did all the hard work but when I talked to the tech, he said that almost every part he had to "massage" a bit.
Might be easier on the DBAs but with those with 09, be prepared to "make it work"

also, getting some suspension done to the car and now that my cooling is doing great and the temps here in Texas are dropping, plan to finally stop running in low boost and see if I can work these brakes a bit harder!

Very nice man. Sounds like you have a great kit once installed.
I've heard similar install issues with other people so I had to pass on it. Doug maybe you can somehow make everything more plug and play? Cuz the truth is it's far from plug and play from what I hear. No offense. Just trying to give a suggestion to make it fit right from the start.

We've gotten it down to the point where we can install these kits in under 4 hours. We modify the backing plates in place, and the caliper machine work costs us less than $200...
From customer feedback we've also begun development of a version2.0 kit that will improve some of the various clearances and improve the kits performance!
