Default Front brake cooling on B5 S4

I am experiencing lots of pad transfer on track days. Excessive heat in the rotors (700+ degrees F) using track pads. Anyone have suggestions on fabricating and routing cooling ducts?

Step #1 is get pads that >>700 deg. I use Stoptech 309s (S6, 800-900 deg) and yes, i get some grabbing, btu its really ok.

Now, on to cooling. I plan to do the same, and would think PET bottle, control arm, duct tape, dryer vent hose.

Some assembly required.
