This product has been in development for over a year, but we have been building brake ducting options for longer. We sent out numerous prototypes of this product to be tested on different platforms (Tested on Audi TTRS, Audi RS3, Mk7 Golf R, MK6 Golf R). The results from all 4 users were increased pad life (some doubled pad life!), longer sessions without cool down laps needed, and as a byproduct - reduced lap times because the driver felt more confident in the pads when they stayed within optimal operating temperature range for longer.
Performance:
We designed this solution to provide an easier install, and cheaper to service than brake ducting. Routing hoses on MQB cars is difficult because of space constraints, typically limiting you to 2-2.5" hose. @60mph vehicle speed 2.5" hose in a best case scenario will push ~180 CFM however with turns and wire flex hose, the efficiency is much less. Our deflectors can push conservatively over 200 CFM with less restriction. This is effectively an XL version of an OEM RS3 brake deflector. Our positioning is improved, and the aprons of the duct capture more air from a better pressure region under the car.
Construction:
- The duct is made of a poly sheet plastic that is impact resistant.
- The mount is made of 5052 powder coated aluminum, the total assembly is under 8lbs. (exception: aftermarket LCA brackets are 3d printed poly)
Fitment:
Select the appropriate control arm to match your car. The deflector is the same for all options, but the mounting bracket is different for each control arm. We have confirmed fitment with OEM calipers and 529 Innovations Wilwood calipers. Other options may need minor trimming of the deflector at full lock.
- If you are using LCA's with Superpro inserts or JXB inserts - select OEM steel. These options occasionally use Audi steel LCA's, but we include spacers to fit VW or Audi stampings.
- The mounting bracket can live on the car after install. The deflector shell can be removed from the bracket with 2 bolts for easier trailer loading, or driving on the street.
Replacement Parts:
This is low to the ground, it will be abused on track, expect the deflector shell to be a wear item. We sell replacements separately.
Other Considerations:
- CFD simulation estimates that these add 7lbs of drag, and 10lbs of downforce. Based on previous testing we have found anything under 30lbs of downforce @ 100mph is unlikely to be notable as a driver on a production car. Data is provided for reference only and not a guarantee of performance. Ride height, and any other aero elements can affect these values.
- We recommend only using these while on track. They are low to the ground, and have a high likelihood of damage from road debris during street driving.
- Adding fender vents will also increase the effectiveness of these deflectors.
Disclaimers:
Your results will vary depending on your setup and driving style. We cannot and do not make guarantees because there are too many variables involved. This is not a 'quick fix' for using street pads and DOT fluid on track. These should be used in conjunction with track specific pads, rotors and fluid to gain optimal performance.
