I have the Smart Racing setup; not fully installed yet but it is good stuff. AJ-USA and others sell the same or very similar backing plates.

I did hear recently that SRP was getting out of the biz of fabricating certain specialty parts i.e. their swaybars. That is a real bummer as they make some sweet bits although often spendy.

Terry,
I have the AJ Racing Cooling setup on my blue car.
Call them at 1-800-877-1911.
For some reason it's not coming up on their webpage.

I drove by there yesterday and everything looked normal, i.e., lots of cars and projects going. Web site is still accessable when I tried this morning.

Re: Jerry Woods. I drove by there on Wednesday and everything looked normal, i.e., lots of cars in the process of getting built into race cars. Also their website is accessable from here.

You can also use the 993 deflector brake cooling plates. These are readily available and bolt right on to the suspension arm. Not too expensive either. They direct air to the center of the rotor. I have them but not installed yet on mine.
