Default Brake ducting?

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.
