I’m soooo disappointed it’s absurd.

The PMU Club racer pads lasted me the same amount of time but they were half the price.

Add on top of that I was getting fade coming down the front straight at Summit Point so its not like they even held up with ambient temps in the upper 50’s.

I’m just shocked that this happened…

Here is the pads after day 4.


Having zero context, the heavy taper on the pad indicates to me that there are a few possibilities here.

- very heavy ABS use
- caliper is compromised and sticking

There is a major tell here:

- In your picture, the left edge of the pad is significanly thicker than the right edge. While it's not a great picture, it looks to be about 2.5mm pad on the left, and 4.5mm on the right


Do you have a track datalog and/or temperature data and/or rotor pictures?
