Disc Brake Cooling Ducts

I know the rear side scoops are functional for cooling the rear brakes. My question is since the front brakes are responsible for 70-80% of your stopping power, logically shouldn't they have some sort of scoops that are functional as well? Or is there something magic under the front air dam that does the trick? (I admit, I've never crawled under the car, not having the build of a flat-worm).

she comes stock with front "tire sidewall cooling ducts", LOL. they do nothing. for normal street driving you don't need more brake cooling. for track work you do, and then it's a trade off (as are all perf mods) as one looses a lil steering 'near lock' travel. makes ya a grandma doing K turns
do a search on front ducts or rippie brake ducts, there was a coupla active threads on this topic very recently..
