last track day my 2nd to last session i thought i felt fade. looked at my pads, front seemed ok, rear seemed close but ok. never ran through a set of rears faster than front. they went on in may, the rear a week after the front. the rear are one step down in temp class from carbotech.
tracked and felt ok, but pedal did was going further down for sure esp once off and just putzing around. i have pretty high temp stuff and a light car but perhaps it got toasty. also a bit of a draggy brake noise but i just thought it was a pads are close not gone.
with working and quitting my old job and a bachelor party coming up i just didn't have any free time to do the brakes. eventually my parking brake light came on and i noticed my brake reservoir was under min, so figured the pistons were just quite extended in the rear. didn't wash the wheels (stupid) so they built up a combo of track pad and rust... which seemed to be from the backing plate now that i threw new stuff on.
i think the 2nd to last session i used up all rear brake then the last was just smashing/bending backing plate into rotor. then i drove on them (intermittently, when home) for a couple weeks.
these are direct links to fbk status update stuff so not sure how long they will actually stick around, but think they will work for now.
this ended up being the best looking rear pad
the 2 worst
wheels could be better. but came out not awful. back on with new cryo rear rotors and new xp8 pads (same temp as front) - one of my front pads was pretty done, the others looked like they could do at least 1 track day... went ahead and changed them. waiting for traffic to die down to go bed them on 94 and eat at the lake forest oasis while they cool down.
