Are your brakes getting too hot at the track? Have $30 and an hour?

I couldn't find one. I called my local porsche dealer, and I think they finally found them in the computer and were like $86 each side! Just order them online from where Goofygrin mentioned in his first post. Fast shipping, and best price.
I just installed mine yesterday, and will try them out at the track this sunday! Thanks again for the DIY how-to.

Updated link, they moved things around on their site.

This brake duct mod is making it's rounds around the Internets! I have a couple of friends putting them on their NSXs.
I can confirm goofy's abuse of braking component at Hallett. It is very hard on pads and fluid. ...and even rotors once you get to that point. I had a similar experience with my Prelude once I started tracking it. Once I was comfortable with the car and the track and went to R-comps, the street tires and DOT4 fluids just weren't enough any more. The Prelude may not have the power of the Evo, but with Integra Type-R sized brakes on a 3200lb car the brakes were definitely getting over worked. I destroyed a set of HP+ in 3 20 minutes session, so my day was done with half of it left...and I still had to drive home!

To be perfectly honest, this duct system really only works for the occasional track day and won't really help for heavy track use. For that you need a ducting solution that blows air hard on the caliper/ rotor interface, either from the back or at the spindle. PM me if you want some solutions on how to do this.
