Good Thought..
although the calipers were the same.. they were 210 /215 if i recall correctly.. this was taken simply on the outside facing surface of the caliper.
It very well may be true that the shims and new pads help insulate.. But thats a good thing also isnt it ??
"the stock plate side had a temp of 290 ish, the side with the F30 plate had a temps of 250 ish " .
( This was from prior post )
so if the caliper is at 215 welll then something good is happening ... remember this was at an impromt temp test after a longish ride to pull over.. the effectiveness of the plates could have passed at that speed / time and the calipers just cooled to the lowest temp they were gonna get too for the situiation ????
