if you have an issue with too much front bite, you could switch to a more aggressive rear pad... realize this is not the most elegant solution but would hold you over for a while... again, only do this if you don't have the budget to do the rear at once with front

what I was saying is that, yes, did a dozen plus sessions with no ducting, then recently I added ducting and it has only gotten better... as I mentioned above, with the air cooling I do not see any smoke coming off the brakes after sessions... will take some temp readings next weekend and report back, but I'm confident temps are 50-100f or so lower now
