Brake cooling the SS camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

JMAC2011 · 10-07-2012, 07:30 AM

I need to complete a project before I go to Road Atlanta again. I want to come up with a good system for getting some cool air to the wheel bearings and brake pads.

Has anyone done this mod that has suggestions or photos? I'd like to make them look like they were supposed to be there from the factory by putting them in the lower center grill. I want to leave my DRL's in place.

Thanks for the photos and suggestions!

If you havent already upgraded the brakes, also look at the 6 piston CTS-V caliper and rotor upgrade on the front with some SS goodridge lines and DOT 4 fluid. Lots of threads - do a search.

Get the ZL1 inner fender liners, they have the vents and ports for brake ducting, then route the ducts for cooling

i would be interested to see how the ZL1 fender liners cool the bearings and rotors in comparison to routing the ducting directly to the dust shied....
