I personally thought your first set up was better, but then again I am in no way an expert on brakes. I was under the impression that either indirect air flow (such as the factory ones I had on the evo or your first setup) or ducts that cover the entire inner circle of the rotor would keep the rotors having symmetrical temperatures
