STILLEN brake cooling kit

spearfish25

Received my kit yesterday and installed it today. Very nice little kit...just what you need to get the job done. I didn't need any of the shims for the hub mounting plates, but I could have used a few more zip ties.

The only part of the job that turned out to be a PITA (there's always one step that is) was removing the hub. Everyone beware that your hub may be corroded a bit and stuck on there like crazy. I removed the four bolts and she didn't budge on either side. A trip to Autozone and a rental slide hammer got'er done. Plan on four hours for the install and minimal frustration (but get a slide hammer!) if you have all the tools and have done most of the steps before (fascia removal, caliper/rotor removal, etc). If you've never done any of it before, double that time estimate and prepare to be frustrated.

And for what it's worth, don't do a little drive around town and then touch the front rotor thinking it's going to be cool because of the new ducting. It'll still burn you. (I may have touched the rotor )
