Ford did *most* of the job right on the GT350/350R, picking up air with dedicated brake ducts in the front bumper and then channeling that air back through the substructure and to the inside front of the wheel well opening. Kudos! But, as is, the ingested air through this ducting simply blows air on the lower control arm and not the caliper or disc where it could be a whole lot more effective. :frusty: Ironically, Ford did the job right on the Mustang GT with the Performance Pack (6-piston Brembos) as they incorporate an air deflector on the lower control arm to direct air on the rotor and caliper. Pictured below is a wheel of a GT350/R with a deflector from a GT PP car mounted on the lower arm. (But, you'd have to buy both GT PP lower arms to get these deflectors.)
But Ford didnāt quite finish the job on your GT350/350R. The GT 350/350R lower control arms are neither tapped nor do they have an air deflector to get this routed airflow onto the rotor/caliper! What a waste! The channeled air is simply lost.
With our Cool Tech Brake Duct Completion Kit, we include all of the parts ā and even the installation tools so that any owner can make their brake ducts functional and improve cooling to the rotor and caliper. Weāve reproduced the design of the deflectors used by Ford. We prototyped the deflectors in three different metals in order to provide the best performing deflector at the lightest weight possible. We are using a 5052 aluminum as it is a little more durable than 6061 and it also accommodates a smaller bend radius without stress fractures. Perhaps best of all, each deflector weighs less than 3 ounces! To make the job easy and straightforward for any owner, we include not only a high quality tap, but also a T-handle Tap Wrench so that you can easily thread the existing holes. (No drilling is required!) Finally, the kit includes super-corrosion-resistant 316 stainless fasteners ā and even an allen key to secure everything in place!
Finally, here's a pic with the kit contents - essentially everything you need to have "completed" brake ducts on your GT350/350R.
The Completion Kit can be pre-ordered now on our website for an introductory price of $59.95. http://www.cooltechllc.com/2015-mustang-gtgt350gt350r/100-gt350350r-brake-deflectors.html
We have all of the parts on-hand and we are just waiting to have the deflectors themselves back from powdercoating. We will be shipping all orders received on or before next Friday, Dec 2.
