I added this last week on a whim after having read that others (gtr) had mostly positive results especially relative to the cost and effort. For about $16 (bed bath and beyond is the only local place with nice silicon flippers) and some zip ties its well worth giving it a shot.
Congratulations - that kit should do an outstanding job for you. Loudon is fairly intense on brakes and will be a decent test during the hot months. The Glen would be a greater test due to the higher speeds.

Going forward, some brake temperature paint might be a good idea. Just a thought.
