Anyone by chance install Mid America's front airdam with the attached brake cooling ducts? I need to replace mine soon, and adding the duct work at the same time seems like a easy mod.

Check out Frank's 1991, he's put ducting on his.

I don't know if it's Mid Americas or not, but it looks pretty straightforward.
You might ask him a few questions, but be forewarned, English is a second language for him (He's a Barcelona Spain native) so make it as easy to understand as possible. He's a very bright and nice guy, but sometimes the language barrier is pretty tall... ;)

I've fitted the MidAmerica kit. Its ok. Needed some 'modding' to fit right but now its on ok. I also fitted aluminium mesh into the ducts to improve the looks

Did the brake ducting eliminate any brake problems?

Only time I had the Movits very hot was when I was forced to slam them on at 180 on an autobahn to avoid a car that pulled out infront of me;) I needed to replace that part anyway so went with the coolers

A 180 mph brake slam would be a major test of any braking system on any car I would presume.
