I am surprised you guys are recommending brake ducts for street driving. Even "spirited" street driving shouldn't require them unless you are doing it for long periods at a time.

Also, how you apply the brakes is a critical element in the condition of your rotors after many miles. I had to retrain my wife how to brake properly after her last two cars got warped rotors unusually fast. She's put almost 30K miles on her Acura now with no problems. She had the original OEM Z rotors showing signs of uneven wear (or uneven pad depositing) in less than 20K.
