@CSGmike & anyone else-
I've been pretty happy with the performance and even wear of my G-Loc R16 front pads. They have 4 days on track from my '15 STI and 9 days in the '17 PP BRZ. All 4 fronts measure 5/16s each.
The rears are Carbotech at 4/16s, older than the fronts and recommended for the STI, possibly XP-12s. They have a few more STI days on them than the G-Locs.

Question is, I have a 3 day HPDE 2 weekends from now at Mid-Ohio with lots of track time, just 2 groups of advanced drivers running back and forth all day long. I imagine I will wear out before my pads do! But...I'm wondering if the smart thing would be to bring my next set of pads with me, and if so, just stay with G-Locs? Other track pads preferred over G-Locs for HPDEs by anyone else...Mike?

Thanks, all!
