Default Brake cooling fins has anyone used them and do they work ?

In my opinion its just waste of money,proper brake ducts will be more effective like this..
Or you can go by route WRC via water cooled brakes,but few Łk

Better off putting the money into braided hoses with 5.1 dot fluid.

Thanks Lee.
Sorry I still havent fitted the door cards so no pics yet I want to find window winders first!
Will go to your thread now......



(FYI - that chap from Italy selling the brake cooling on PH - had a thread going in Jap Chat over there about them, the upshot seemed to be they did improve things for him a bit - In effect his brakes still went off but it took them a few more laps to do so)
