While the concept of the air guide is absolutely valid, the temps you're seeing are not really indicative of the numbers seen by someone who *really* needs improved brake cooling. The guides, IMO, are supplemental to other cooling mods, but alone, are most likely going to not be enough for the more experienced drivers.

I don't get what you mean? I did the equivalent of brake burnish. 10 stops from 60 mph to 5 mph until the brakes started to smell and fade. Then I drove for 5-10 min with out stopping and with minimal braking.
The fact that there is a temperature difference left to right, shows that the side with the duct gets more air. That is the only thing I wanted to show with the video.
Had I stopped earlier and done the measurement, obviously the temperature would have read higher. Maybe it even 1000F, I had no interest in testing that - since "max achievable temperature" was not the point of the experiment.
How does "driver experience" come into the equation? Anyone can stop the car 10x in a straight line.
If you mean: "there are other solutions that will produce more cooling for drivers who require even more cooling" - then I agree, but not for the price point and ease of install of these!!
Personally I don't want to spend too much money on the stock brake system, as I want to go bbk down the line. I am limiting it to braided lines, Castrol React SRF fluid (dry boiling point 608F - wet 518F) and CL RC5+ pads. Combined with the above cooling I'll see how far that gets me.
