Sorry we don't get over to this forum very often. Regrettably, we don't have a GT350 and have not been able to get test data on the deflectors we sell - but there should be no doubt that airflow over the rotors is improved. Further, airflow is a key ingredient in cooling so the only question is "how much" do these help. Well, Ford themselves saw fit to put these (plastic version) deflectors on the normal GT's but not on the 350/350R's. Just take a look underneath your car the next time you have the opportunity. There's a lot or air routing bits already there and we believe the product we offer is aptly named - it's intended to complete what Ford "started". It's hard to convince Ford management to spend money on components - especially ones you can't see.... but someone sure did the justification to get these on the Mustang GT's. Sure, proper brake ducts is the best way to go, but there should be no doubt (by Ford's own engineering) that the deflectors have some heat reduction benefits - the yield being twofold; longer pad life and improved headroom (time) on brake fluid boiling.... cooling wasn't added because Ford's track testing didn't suggest it was necessary. Now, if you're doing enduro style driving (90+ minute stints), you might increase pad life with some cooling, but the braking performance is not temperature limited.
