I need to cool the brakes on my CMC build on my 95 camaro. Where are most people putting the intake for the cool air? Are the any inlets made for this car to make a neat installation? Some pics would be helpful.
thanks

i get 3 plus events out of a set of XP10's.
i once ran an 8 hour enduro and 2 more regional events on the same set of pads.
....... who cares if they extend wear beyond that. they are just not worth the major hassel of keeping them free of damage.

another data point. i installed a used pair of calipers on this car when i built it (dust boots burned off) back in 2004. they have never been off the car or disconnected from the brake line - NEVER in 5 years of 7-8 event weekends per year. our regional weekends are 7 track sessions per event - 1 prcatice/warmup, 2 quals and 4 races. National events (4 in the last 4 years) are 3-4 DAYS of track time.
i'm telling you - drive the car, get behind the wheel, then see if they are needed. your tracks local to you may need them. i havent, even at Miller (CMC track record holder there).

oh, i also get a season our of cheep parts store rotors ($60 each - Wagners).
