You do need brake ducts. Nice driving It's pretty funny how long that Subie made you wait for a point-by

I agree. And when you work on the cooling ducts, make sure you point one at the inside of that fender to keep the paint from blistering .

I can't say exactly how much longer the pads will last, but it is safe to say that lowering the operating temperatures of your rotors/pads will result in increased pad/rotor life...by how much, that would depend on your driving...

The splitter would work with any bumper/lip combo. The time consuming part is lining up the supports.... I just don't have enough time to finish working on it.
I did swap new 70A innovative mounts in, the engine does not move! lol

How's the vibration & harshness? Where can I get material for the splitter?

To go faster i need R comps, Seats and Harnness's and some.


so is this your new track car?

No it's my drive to VIR HPDE car and Summit Main car just a few times a year, For a car with really just pads and street tires it's pretty damn good.

I just got new Carbotechs for the Miata.

material is Alumalite. The vibrations I can't really comment on since the car is on jackstands
