Installed a set of brake air deflectors today, hoping to get back out soon and test them out

I got the same deflectors from @vorshlag, i did not use the original ones over the new ones but i had to find some flat washers to keep them in place whilst using the OEM bolts instead of new bolts.

Interesting, I just used the new deflectors only and did not attach the original ones with them. They fit great and I was impressed with the fact that I never even had any brake pedal fade. I was using the SR 11 EBC sintered pads and they have insane initial bite , stop on a pinhead ( technical speak that means even better than on a dime ), but they get super toasty. The Vorshlag brake ducting plates were enough to keep the rotors cool enough even with pads that generated huge amounts of heat.

I actually purchased them from a member on Mustang6G who did testing with the OEM deflectors on top of his product. I know the Vorshlag is optimized by itself without the factory deflectors.

Cool idea and it probably will make no difference.Thanks for the note explaining and I was impressed they worked as well as they did.

What model is that Vorshlag deflector? They show styles to fit several different models in the drop down on their site but nothing that says Mach 1.
I had them on my '16 PP1 and they worked as well as hoses without all the hassle.

Go to Brake Cooling Deflector Plate for S550 on the Vorshlag Website , and under performance arm I believe I just selected Performance Pack as I undid the three factory bolts and then redid the attachment with the ones they supplied.

Thanks Bill. I haven't had a wheel off the car yet so didn't know if the Mach 1 came with the deflectors like the PP cars had.

.........and by the way, congrats! I assume you are going to get camber plates also, correct?

Eventually, yes. But with only one track day left this year I am going to run it stock as delivered to baseline it. It will be a learning day, no screaming howling tire noise will be happening. Just keep the tires hooked up and happy. I do intend to put plates on next spring but not a lot more than that, just the long arp studs and open nuts to run 305s on 11s up front, already have them bought and in stock for next spring.
Really liking this car, it just feels more refined than the '11 and the '16 cars did. But it's also got teeth, just haven't brought them out much yet.
