Small world. I was seeing 700-730 on the rotor surface after two cool down laps in my '15 Focus ST. I even did DIY air guides that attached to the control arms to help. I never did get them to fade them with Hawk HP+ pads in there even at those temp. The factory caliper paint and outer piston dust protector are another story lol.
With my 1LE, I was seeing about 640 on the rotor surface and 330-350 on the caliper with my IR gun last time out on the track a couple weeks ago. That was after a good cool down lap. One session my front brakes were still smoking when I got back to my parking spot after my cool down... had to jump back in an keep driving her around lol. I'm still running stock pads FYI. I did a good bed-in procedure the day prior and they worked great on track.
