The rears are probably 60% or so.
I get it that it may perhaps be how I’m braking. I don’t feel the ABS but maybe I’m hard on it. All that being said… there is no way these should have died so fast.

You only got 3 days out of Pmu CR's IIRC?
I have to think that the "Track Mode" is part of it. If you're carrying speed, the brakes are doin stuff... Do the 3-second hold on the left "*car w/ squiggle lines* OFF" button (TRAC OFF and VSC OFF lights will both come on). Or pedal dance.
You may also be being too hard on brakes too deep into corners, try braking maybe a bit earlier and trailing OFF of the brakes more between turn-in and apex. Had two students this year who gained massive time by braking a smidge earlier but getting way more OFF the brakes a lot earlier in the corner. Then looking at some of my own data last event this year, same thing, I gained 4 tenths in two braking zones (of course only in practice and not in the time trial tho)! Getting more OFF the brakes earlier is one of the last keys to getting faster.
I would bet having Brembos might be getting me 2x "normal" brake pad life, but that should still put non-Brembos in the neighborhood of 8 track days for C2 pad life!
