Brake Cooling

OK, I was wondering if anyone makes a kit for cooling the front brakes on a 07 LS? The steel wheels arent letting the brakes cool worth a damn and I have warped the rotors twice. Since this is just a DD, I dont want to spring for upgraded rotots, or wheels that brethe so Im looking for other options. Lets see what you got!

i do a brake cooling package for Corvettes that costs 350 bucks and could be made to fit Cobalt, as Ihave put them on Cobalt race cars but its probably too much money....if you did decide you wanted it, contact Sean or Josh at OTTP and allow 3 weeks for delivery minmium....

Could be true, but that dosent fix it. I have never had this issue on any of the other 9 cars I have owned, but that dosent change anything either.

I am thinking same price; I need to make an underaxle tube, and you will discard a stock spacer in the set up; this package would go great with an OTTP BBK floating rotor system...
