Brake ducts from a Phaeton may have helped most, since they turned high speed air into cooling for the brakes. But that's just a guess. Other mods were stainless steel brake lines, Pagid blue pads, and brake fluid with higher temperature tolerance. The total of $2721 also included a new set of stock front rotors, which were the priciest part at around $1700. Put another way, if I already had good front rotors, the total cost of my mods would have been little more than $1K.
All mods were done by Suncoast Motorsports in Sarasota just before Daytona, which involved nine sessions of 25 min each over three consecutive days. Have made no changes since then (early Dec) and rotors still look good.
