Brake Cooling on 1LE - Page 3

Eric SS · 02-03-2017, 10:28 AM

I'm having trouble visualizing this so would really like a photo of the 1LE set up vs the SS track set up as well. I have the SS track set up on mine and just leave it there but will probably be purchasing the FE4 suspension kit.

Also notice the notches in the outside edge of the front wheel well liners. That is where the air curtain air exhausts from under the LED "Fog" lights.

Great pic! definately worth a thousand words!

Does anyone have photos or part numbers of the 1le brake cooling?

Ok, so just to clarify, I should not call my dealer and yell at them for not including the deflectors....right?

If you have a 1LE you should not have received the deflectors. The 1LE is setup already with brake cooling integrated from factory. It is designed to function on the track and on the street as opposed to the SS method that is supposed to require switching to go to the track and vice versa.

Does anyone have a picture of the disc backing plate on the 1LE? I have an SS with the 6 pistons and wondering what I should do about my backing plates for track days. I will be installing the tall track deflectors, but I assume that the small backing plate that is provided with the SS is for the smaller 4 piston brakes. This would lead me to believe that it won't cover any of the disc at all and I may as well not install any backing plate at the track. If the 1LE has a backing plate with coverage in between the tiny track SS ones and the full 6 piston ones I think I would like to do some trimming on them or try to buy 1LE ones.

pretty sure the backing plate is exactly the same. The deflectors is where the difference is.
