Well routed ducting is what you need. Duct intakes that are inside the frame rails have to make too many turns to get good airflow to the brakes - you need something that starts outside the frame rails (requires cutting holes in the front facia) or comes in from underneath the car.

I wondered about that ... the Grand Am car has ducts in the fascia (way low and outside the fang area) that look like a fairly straight shot to the brakes.
