Rear brake cooling ducts

Hi, I have a 997.2 turbo PDK with centre lock wheels..car is generating 660 to 700 hp depending on fuel and weather…car originally ordered with ceramic discs..I had a rear right side disc failure where the disc holding pins sheared of and the disc slipped from its original position..Porsche as usual still haven't given a reply..I track the car but regardless this should not of happened .
I have ordered a new set of steel Brembo discs and pads all round..however I don't want a similar problem? front wheels have gt2 rs brake cooling ducts but rears don't.
Any after market ducts available? or shall i just design one?
car has KW variant 3 coil overs and for track I use GT2 RS wheel dimensions..
Car is very fast around a track.

Install OEM 997GT2/3RS rear ducts. That's what I run. You will need to trim the brake heat shields...

997GT2RS brake ducts 997.575.531.90 and 997.575.532.90
997GT2RS brake duct clips 997.575.631.91 and 997.575.632.91

Two different duct clips are available depending that LCAs you have. The ones listed above are for the Cup/RSR LCAs.

I bet your car is fast around the track due to your issues.!


I also, use the above as recommended by Pwdrhound. My setup may not look as clean but, its functional.

Can you also tell me if the 992.2 turbo model 2010 with centre lock wheels and ceramic brakes comes with factory fitted spacers? as Porsche is telling me I fitted spacers but I never did? Nice car by the way..
