Is there a way to make the stock fog light locations into brake cooling ducts? Obviously the fog lights would have to be taken out, but I was curious if this could be done and how easily and if it makes any difference in braking performance.

 

Yes, it can be done. Just about ANYTHING can be done with the right application of know how/skill and materials. Would it increase brake performance...no. Not unless you are suffering from brake fade due to high heat buildup now. Even if you were/are, a change in brake pads and/or rotors will probably solve that without much of a downside.

the downside to "brake cooling ducts", is that they would also have to be constructed with an EFFECTIVE air/water separator in them, otherwise, every time you drove in the rain, you'd be coating/drenching your brake rotors/pads/calipers with water...which while great for cooling, is also a fairly decent lubricant...decreasing brake performance. Brake pads/rotors also perform best when warmed up to proper temps. Different pads/rotors have different idea temps. What works for one pad/rotor combo may be too cold/hot for another. So if you go with high temp pads, but then drench your rotors/pads with water...you could have severely compromised braking performance.
