Boiled my brake fluid on a track day recently and I MEAN boiled, it was coming out the reservoir! Replaced now with race-spec Dot4 fluid.
Is there an option to give the brakes more cooling, i.e. ducting from fog lamp area?

Check out the ams brake cooling duct kit

I THINK AMS makes some kind of cooling hose/ducts that directs to the front calipers.. i am intoxicated, i wasn't able to find it.

Nice! But a shit load of work and $500+ bucks
Any other ideas?

You can try the under car brake cooling guides. Mitsubishi has some oem ones or rexpeed carbon ones

Using RBF600 and no probe since, just want to improve if I can!

Stick with Motul RBF600 and get some air guides. Whether OEM or AMS, each will help. I have the OEM and would like to eventually throw the AMS kit on there, but it is pretty pricey. The guide bracket looks awesome though.

I have the AMS kit. Very nice and no too hard to install. When you install it you'll realize it is a fair price for all you get and how well it all fits.

I use srf and oem air guides

That was my plan - already have fresh bottles of SRF, and ordered the ducts from SG Petch (15% off Mitsi list price, and look and feel tougher then the Rexpeed carbon versions - should be handy for the next trip through the gravel trap )

+1 on rbf600. it's not the absolute best, but if its not boiling, then its no worse than 660.

you said fluid was coming out the reservoir... you sure you boiled it or just over-filled?

I have the oem ones. Fair priced and they work great!

I use RBF 600, girodisc titanium shims, ST43 pads, and rexpeed brake cooling guides. I had ZERO problems with overheating even in 100F weather until last december. It was 60F out, but I was at a track I was unfamiliar with (poor braking technique) and my rotors are really worn.

Defo boiled, not overfilled! Sat there for 45 mins dripping out the reservoir, eventually stopped and the level dropped, amazingly the pedal came back with no intervention from me and I was able to carry on, albeit at a reduced rate of knots!

That's exactly what happened to me.

I got lucky, a dealer was having a clear out on ebay and i got genuine ones for £50 lmao
Just avoid rexpeed, they make nothing worthy of a ten imo
