I have a 2011 MCS that I track quite a bit. All it takes is a couple of high-speed laps before the brakes really start to heat up. I've been looking for ways to duct air to the discs/hubs and not having much luck. The only commercial solution I've seen is the R53 duct kit with the scoop under the control arm but that seems pretty makeshift.

The 2011s have the duct inlets built right into the lower bumper, which is perfect. From there, however, to the discs is so cramped I can't see a way to route the duct hose. Between the tire travel, axle & sway bar link positions (not to mention the strut in the way of everything), there's not much left. Maybe if I route the hose over the engine...

Has anyone come up with a workable solution? Barring that, any thoughts out there about how they would do it?

Check to see if the SneedSpeed brake cooling kit wil fit the R56. I recently installed it and have found that it works great.

 

Gotta get some ducting straight onto the rotor. Remove the brake dust shields, get larger rotors, better pads and fluid, bleed often, throw in a cool down lap to help with tire wear and brake fade
