For rotor temp measurement after a cool down lap, assume OEM Akebonos and no brake cooling ducts: the front rotors are just tiny bit bigger than the rear in diameter (355 vs 350mm), but thickness differs greatly (32mm vs 20mm). The front rotors carry a much greater volume of heat with not much more surface area to for heat dissipation. With a method like using an infrared temp gun, which measures surface temp, I would not be surprised there is a temp difference, even if the peak temp during braking may be the same between front and rear rotors.
Yes, there was some cool down, and I agree, they cool off differently. My fronts probably cool off quicker as they are Wilwood 2 piece with aluminum hats and rear are off the shelf Z33 brembos.
I expect to see rears to be cooler, but question is how much cooler? Thank you for AP Racing link-they do not give precise answer, and it cannot be precise due to all the parameters mentioned by other posters. It's understood, but 40%?
