I would like to know what would lead you to believe that the front brakes are "applying more force.. leading to heat.. than commanded.
Are you using your IR temp readings to justify this, or simply a theory, or what?
My point is this: You are saying that they are creating "too much heat", and that the rears don't seem to be exhibiting "enough heat" (to paraphrase), and in turn is turning you towards a biasing problem...
With no data to actually prove that is the problem, and only guesses as to the fact that it is, indeed, "too much" heat in the front.. that is as far as you can go, really. Until you can repeat the exact test, on another car identical to yours, you are stuck.. (that or get pressure readings from the lines, and see if you ARE out of range...)
Until then, all I have seen is:
a GUESS that bias is wrong.
some arguments that it isn't.
a few temp readings by me and you..
some guesses that those MIGHT be too high.
key words in there are "GUESS" and "GUESSES". You keep telling people that they could be wrong, etc, etc... (and they could...) but this applies in both directions... theories are only starting points. Data is a foundation that supports your theory. Theories cannot support data, no matter what the data "might" be. So far, nobody in this thread has any "data", at least not in the form of pressure ranges, heat ranges, etc... (RARA and TCE have provided invaluable knowledge on the workings of the braking system, and you and I provided temps.. but this doesn't prove anything.. only disproves (possibly) a problem..)
Let's get to PROVING this problem, or at least get on the track of finding out HOW to eliminate this as a culprit for sure (instead of arguing on why it could/couldn't be... let's just do it...)
