Oh wow that's very good wear! The front pads come in at ~16mm total thickness brand new. The backplate is ~5mm thick so that would mean you still have ~45% life left in the pads assuming they are all wearing evenly. You should be able to stretch them for at least another 2 or 3 track events and a few thousand street miles with your current driving habits. The compound works so well that they should be just fine being run very thin, just keep an eye on them and make sure you don't send them to the backing plates during a track event!

Here's a shot of my front passenger side pad after last Saturday's track day at the Summit Point Shenandoah circuit.. It's not a super fast track (I was topping out at just over 100 mph twice per lap), but it is very technical, so the brakes were definitely getting a workout. That's six track days + near daily driving since mid-April!

This is awesome! Definitely a couple more track days and some street miles left in them at your current wear rates They are still performing just as well as they get thinner, correct?

They still feel great to me... next track day is Sept. 9, so we'll see how they do there.. That track has a long, fast front straight followed by a relatively slow turn 1.

Sorry in advance, non ISF question.
I love my Project Mu HC 800 pads on the ISF so much, I have to upgrade my 2009 Porsche cayenne GTS.
What would you recommend to get a similar characteristics like project mu pads.
thank you!!

Here's the latest on my front pads after yesterday's track day at Summit Point Main, WV. They worked fine all day in low-mid 90 temps.. That's now 7 track days since April.
I think I can get one more track day out of them..looks like 3mm or so left. I'm planning to go to Dominion Raceway next Friday, and I don't think that circuit is as hard on the brakes as Summit Point..

I just experienced my first track day and these pads were awesome. Since this was my first track day I'm sure I didn't even come close to using them to their potential. I'm not sure if this is bad but I didn't bed them in prior to the track day so I guess I bedded them in at the track. They were quiet and I didn't notice anything unusual on the way to and from the track, which was about three hours each way.

I got a closer look today while bleeding brakes and there's close to 4mm of material left.. Based on how they've worn at my last two track days, I'm definitely going to keep them on for this Friday.. Of course, I'll take my new pads along just in case
