So much for the "if you've seen one DSE subframe, you've seen them all." sentiment. I totally missed that.

Nice way to make use of a frame horn.. I was racking my brain out on how the hell I was going to do brake ducts on the front without affecting the turing raduis with 305's on the front.. I had the upright figured out..

Oh yes we are using the DSE Hydraformed rails for brake cooling ducts. I need to be more careful on the pictures I post....

Matt opened up the rail and capped off internally and added a curved piece to turn the air. 18 X 11 wheel no problems lock to lock.

With the Anvil lower front valance it is wide open for brake ducts. We squared off the end of the frame rail and removed all the bumper bracket holes. Then added front duct that pull of the opening in the lower valance.

Now that you guys figured that I can post the rest of the pictures when I find them.

With Carbon Ceramic Brakes you need a lot of air flow to cool the brakes. Especially when you are making 875 HP. They don't have much thermal mass so much the cooling needs to be by air flow.

Thanks for posting the picture Mark! This past weekend while testing @ Buttonwillow we came off track & the brakes were cooking.. So more than ever now we will be working on ducting.. This is a great way to get air in the front!

This is the general idea.

The lower valance is open and the outer courners are brake cooling ducts and the center is for the heat exchangers.
