Hello! I went to the track and noticed that my rear rotors are getting just as hot as the front ones. After each cool-down lap, I checked all of the rotors with a temperature gun and they were usually around 450-550F. After one of my runs, I didn't get a cool-down lap because they flagged us in, and all 4 rotors were around 750F.

I was originally planning on getting a cooling kit for the front from Z1, but now I think I need something for the rear as well. I couldn't find any posts about rear brake cooling, only the front. Is it normal for the rear brakes to get as hot as the front? If not, what should I do about it? Are there any good rear brake cooling setups out there?

I am running Carbotech XP10 front, XP8 rear, and Motul RBF 600 brake fluid on a 2014 Nismo. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
