F/R brake temperature?

Just wanna add this little bit here via AP Racing’s website

“In order to achieve optimum racing brake performance and prolong disc life it is essential that the brakes operate at the correct temperature. In general discs should run at similar temperatures front and rear and from side to side, dissimilar temperatures will lead to varying brake balance.”

Also wanna point out, Andy’s method of temp sticker indicates peak temp, where as Obender66 seems to be measuring temp after a cool down lap, so the different rates of heat dissipation may also cause a bigger variance than there is.

Another thing is, was Obender66’s temp taken after many successive laps where rotors and calipers’ temp were stabilized, or after just a couple quick laps?
