Cooling The Brakes

Howdy!

I was thinking about running some air hoses to the front rotors to help
keep them cool. Maybe I could make a home-grown plenum around the grill
opening to collect air and feed it down to the brakes. Or maybe even tap
into the air conditioning ducts! I'm talking about just a small air line
(but big enough to actually help cool'em).

After having my rotors replaced once already, I've noticed the brake
shuddering coming back!

I'd like your opinions. Anyone ever thought of or tried this? Would the
brakes be as efficient running a little cooler or would this cause even
more warpage problems?

TIA!
