Brake pad recommendations?

I have pondered the issue of venting air directly onto the rotors.

Another option I thought of was louvering the dust shields, as it could be difficult to find a location for a "scoop" that doesn't interfere with the steering or sway bar.

BTW, I went with the Summit ceramic pads. In limited street use so far they seem to bite OK when cold. I'm used to high pedal effort since I have manual discs with the stock big-bore MC.

I manually adjusted the rear brakes out while I was at it, and now the pedal is high and rock hard.

Might I make a suggestion.

Increase airflow over the rotors. 2 possibilities, either ditch the "dust" shields, or if you want to keep them I have seen someone get 2 small 45% 2" elbows from the muffler shop, and they drilled corresponding holes in the dust shield, and welded the elbows onto the "dust retaining shields" with the other end facing forward, so the non welded elbow is literally scooping and forcing air against the backside of the rotor.....
