I agree with you about the fluctuations but the keyword here is " huge fluctuations" and like I said I don't think the fog light brake ducting can cause those fluctuations and do any harm than the good.. I also understand that certain pads require certain operating temps you really have to heat them up but that's still a different thing
maybe @ rice_classic can chime in and share his experiences on the subject ( overcooling the brakes)since he is an instructor here in PNW and attends many races |
FTFY.
Ducting brings the equilibrium point down, but also comes at the cost of larger temperature swings. This application of ducting is a band-aid for a braking system that is just too small.
