Yes you can.
We tried to come up with a way to route a hose behind the foglight housing to the rotors, and we did not see any practical method of routing the hose to the rotor from that location.

We currently have a BRZ being tested at Carolina Motorsports Park with the brake cooling kit.

Yeah, that doesn't mean I don't see 1200+ degree rotor temps though

This is true.
We'd have to make a custom backing plate for the BBK.
Can be done...

No, I overused my APs a little bit, pushed them just a bit too far testing how abusive I could be

It wasn't a crack like that wilwood failure

Any update or writeup on how this brake duct kit performed? I'm looking to run some track pads (DTC-60's) with the stock rotors and calipers and am looking seriously at getting this cooling kit. I'm at Sebring about once a month if you need someone to test it under heavy stress conditions....
