Photos in Preparation for Brake Cooling

It looks like the driver's side is not too hard to do a typical 3" brake duct install, but the passenger side presents more trouble as the engine accessory drive gets in the way. There does appear to be plenty of room for flat duct underneath the subframe.

At ride height, looking toward the passenger side tire.


Fog light size. The sloted vents seem a better location for a duct.

Passenger side, jacked up to show spacing between the wheel and subframe/inner fender liner


Passenger side, jacked up and wheel turned in to show lack of space for ducting on the outside of the subframe


Another shot


A closeup of how close the wheel is to the fender liner at max turn-in. By cutting the fender liner back above the subframe, there might be close to 3 inches for a duct

Driver side, jacked up, and turned outward


3" brake hose shoved up behind the sloted vents and over the subframe. On the driver's side, it looks easy to just bend this back toward the wheel
