The front rotors had spider web-ish looking marks all over them too. The last session the brakes felt like they were pulsing on their own, which I figured was the rotors were warped because of the heat. I'm sure the totally uneven pad wear didn't help as well. I guess that's what I get for doing double track duty, which is probably worse that 2 separate track days as the car has more time to cool off.
You definitely overheated the pads, based on the tapered wear and pulsing/shuttering. I'd recommend changing both front and rears to a race compound; the AX6 is really meant for AutoX and aggressive street applications only.

If you like the feel of the AX6, try Carbotech XP10 front/rear.
