Pulling the front dust shields ended my "mushy brakes after track days" syndrome. Seems to get enough additional air, even without ducting, to keep the Ate Super Blue from boiling.

IIRC, properly removing involves removing the wheel hub, not to be done lightly.

I did not pull the hubs.
I used vice grips to back out the phillips screws which can't be easily accessed without pulling the hub, then used tin snips to turn the circle into a "C".

Um, no idea what the deal is but I've never boiled my ATE fluid and it's been in there for at least 8 track days and 3 sets of R4S pads. I have a solid pedal feel all the way down to the backing plate. I had that problem with Honda fluid but since using ATE I've never seen even a hint of it. I have my dust sheilds in place.
Maybe you brake too much
