Default N E Desire for rear brake venting/scoops?

hey guys- anyone here interested in rear brake venting of somesort?

i know i dont have that much of an issue with my BBK, but those with stock brakes, i know the rears for some reason tend to overheat alot @ the track..

wondering if anyone is interested in ducting or have a solution,-

i might have a few ideas.. but wanna see how everyone else feels the need for it.

thanks

Running full race pads on the rear should solve the problem.

If not, then some cooling might be considered.

I've run Hawk Blues in the past and although they didn't boil they did burn up rubber dust boots in a hurry. Ducting might help-only way to know would be to test it out, but hopefully I'll have larger rear brakes for my next track day(probably MSR for ZCON).

I've got Hawk HT-10's in my stoptechs on the z32 and I am now running Ferodo DS2500 in the stoptechs I just purchased for the z33. The hawk blues have always worked great for me in the past though, and at $80 for a set of rears for the stock z33 brakes, you can't beat em!

I would have on my OEM Brembos, but I haven't been able to fade the APs yet so no need for extra cooling so far.
