Straight as possible, and duct to the center of the rotor. This is usually tough with axles in the way, but get creative. If you have room, run an extra, smaller duct to the calipers as well.
See this is what im trying to understand. Why to the center of the rotor and not to th caliper/rotor. I run 2 piece rotors with aluminum hats and I got a huge hub and axle in the fucking way, so I would think the ideal way to do it would be directly on the rotor. I will see what I can do about getting the ducting to route towards more of the center of the rotor.
your rotors are vented and have two sides. if you only have the air blowing on one side... well, you get it. if you have it blowing on the center, where the vents are open, you get air up them and cool both faces of the rotor (that's the idea, at least).
