What pads have you been running?

CL RC6E. I have confidence in the brakes to the point that I brake pretty late, and very hard. Not the best technique probably to save parts but I've also been trying to push it further and further to see just how late I could go. The RC6E's are sintered fully metallic pads and generate quite a bit of heat, more than semi-metallics from the temp data I gathered. These rotors saw north of 1,200 degrees in less than 20 minutes.
Also, I was driving three cars this weekend, there were a few times when I came off the track and switched cars, which is, IMO what caused the crack in the first place. Normally I give the brakes more cool down and roll the car a bit to reduce hot spots, I didn't do that every time this weekend.
