That is correct. We are no longer offering the integrated duct piece. Out of the 150 or so brake kit applications we've created, our original BRZ Endurance Kit was the only application for which we had such a bracket. We found that most of our customers didn't want or need it, so we eliminated it for the Gen.2 cars. We also have more experience with road cars over the past 9 years since we introduced our Gen.1 kits, much of which suggests that brake ducts frequently do more harm than good. As such, we typically suggest skipping ducts all together unless you're running a purpose-built racecar. You can read more about that in this blog article I wrote:


Do I need brake ducts on my track car?
