I have never been one to sit around and wait for things to happen, so since no one is making a cooling setup for the Stoptech I start putting my own together. Last time I had the rotors off I lined them up with the stock dust shields and marked where the rotor surface hit the shield. Today I took that line, traced it around the dustshield and busted out the Dremel.
This should tuck nicely inside the void on the back of the rotor making sure all air is across the hub and out through the veins. I thought things were going well until I started looking at putting a 3 in inlet into the plate.
Turns out that there is not quite 3 inches of room left, so I now am looking at two possible solutions.
I could use a 3 inch pipe cut down and welded to not quite a circle reducing total volume buy a bit.
OR
I could take a 3 in pipe and crush it into an oval that is around 2.5 inches across and that should retain most of the airflow.
I will test fit this one before I cut down the second dust shield and mess around with a few different tube options, but I think I may be well on my way to a solution.
