Where are you pointing the air if not at the inside of the rotors? How far away is the outlet? Perhaps if you can point them towards the ABS sensor we can test the theory of sensor overheating as a cause.
The other one we need to test is differential wheel spin...

The ducts are pointing (as best I could) to directly under the brake caliper. I connected the end of the tubing to the lower part of the shock absorber. I would guess about 4 to 6 inches from the rotor. The main problem is the shape of our front spindle. It really blocks access to the inside of the rotor. In hindsight, I should have cut off the entire dust shield but I don't have a proper sheet metal shear (and I was getting tired).
I should have taken some pictures but I was not all that anxious to display my ghetto-cooling ducts. And it did take some cutting of the inside fender cover...
Keep in mind that I was retrofitting my fang ram air setup and this limited the length of my brake tubing.
