Yes please. Rear ducts available yet and is the bump steer mod required with the front ducts. Any discount available for poor Brits? :P

So... They will have rear's in 2 weeks. Bumpsteer is not required for front ducts. They don't like Brits, so no discount...

After a nice chat with Lukas of Renntech Germany, I'm going with their front and rear ducts. There is sufficient difference in the designs and cooling effect that make me lean towards this solution over the TIKT alternative. No doubt the TIKT ones work way better than no ducts, but I believe there to be added performance with the Renntech ones.

Can you elaborate on why RT believes their’s to be the better solution?
PM if necessary.

Bish, details such as both caliper cooling, better centre-disc cooling, and retaining a heat shield near the lower wishbone bearing. They didn’t want to give away specific details or low-level photographs as the current product is the result of 4 years of development with MB themselves.

I was just about to post that ‘Vengence Racing’ has now become the official US distributor for Tikt products in the USA. I’ve sent them an email asking about pricing on the brake ducts; (hopefully front and rear), and will post back when I hear something.
Just in case someone remains interested.

No doubt the TIKT stuff works, the data and evidence is plain to see. It would be good to compare the two somehow.

I think both the Tikt and the Renntech would have similar performance. The cooling "mouth" does look larger on the tikt than the renntech but I only say this from pictures. I think it will come down to what each one is comfortable with brand a cost wise. The renntech might also be better looking carbon fiber but I really dont care because you cant see them.
Going out to COTA this Friday for a night event. I'm excited to test out the new alignment. I hope my tires have enough life for 2 days in the Texas heat.

Ronac, nice job on the ducting! Get ready for all the questions... I’ll start. Have you tracked them yet? What material did you use, HDPE? Did you print them or create a mold? I may be very interested in a set.

Ordered mine the other day after hearing from Peter. The Pagid RSC1 pads are bloody difficult to find as there aren’t many around. Clark at Apex Motorsports found them for me with a good discount, so hit him up if you want to try a slightly more track oriented pad than the OEMs with your CCMs.
