Rachane Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I am considering buying a KR and was told about the brake duct cooling kit that comes with the car (uninstalled, in a box in he trunk). Why was this not installed by the factory? Why should it be installed, or not installed, by the owner? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of GT Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Yes, you should install them, and if I recall correctly, they are not installed by SAI because they conflict with the car carrier's lash down straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09KR0058 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 If you read the instruction manual that comes with it, it specifically states that it should only be installed if you are racing. It is not intended for daily drivers. My box is still in the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmn Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I was told by my dealer after he called SVT that they were not cold weather tested and were not allowed to be installed by ford in case snow got between them and the brakes. Good story. I had mine put on. Anyone had problems with the shifter getting loose. Mine was getting looser so I pulled up the cover and re-tightened the bolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc12 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Regardless, I put mine on and they trully helped during hard mountain's road driving this very summer. No brake fading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShelby Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Regardless, I put mine on and they trully helped during hard mountain's road driving this very summer. No brake fading. Did you put screens in the holes or left wide open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1FSTHRSE Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I put the screens in, I like the bezel look. I have also taken the passenger side hose off, and redirected the driver hose up to the CAI filter. I found out for myself I do not need the additional cooling if not on a road coarse. They actually get to cold and seemed a bit slow to stop the car. For me, not having the KR hood, I like the fresh cool air going to the filter. jmo. have fun Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc12 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Could you clarify as I didn't see any screens for the holes inside the brake kit box delivered with my KR...just the hoses. I just opened the holes that were shut by a plastic piece and installed the hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
