Disc brakes temperatures
What is average, what is good, what is bad I bought a temp gun, to check tire temps and realized it could also be used to check wheels bearings and brake parts

Think you are going to have a hard time. Brake pad are made from different material and each will have they own temp readout. Disc will be one temp, and drums will be another. You might find the info from whom made your brake. On my sport car my pad are cooler than on the AWD 4 runner. They both have Disc and both are very good brakes. Have fun with your new toy.
Just went out and check the sport car and it show in history that the pads run right at 185 average. All 4 are different and the 185 was the middle range. They are 5+ degrees different with the fronts the highest. My front pads are one brand and the rear another. On braking hard it shows 250 plus.
