So I managed to get my brakes good and mushy this past weekend. It seems four 20-min track sessions in 95 deg will do that, even with RBF-600 and XP8's. So, brake ducts and an oil cooler are next on the list.

I am going to go with the APR inlets because I like my DRLs. The question is, whose backing plates? There are plates from APR, Project Mu, Touge Factory, Dremel, and probably others.

Does anybody have a recommendation for one over the other? I lean to TF, mostly because they are metal, but I am open to education and the voice of experience.

TIA!
