So that means you were in sport which will still use Brakes to help with TC but they should have lasted way longer.

What makes it even more interesting is one of the days was in the rain with a wet track all day (NASA Fall Finale) and my last track day was wet for the first two sessions.

On 4 Track days with CSG C2s and they look no where near this, that said I feel like these pads are going to last me into the early part of next year event wise.

So, question, do you daily the car? Do you drive a lot on city (lots of stop and go)?

I am a fan of PFC, both on the track and off. PFC 08 is old but lasts a long time both on and off the track.
That said, are you just braking too much? I don't know your mods, but some very fast people manage to get a lot more life out of their pads.

I think I just have a really bad batch or something because there is no reason I should have gotten the results I did. |

Honestly, if you're driving the car hard and the track is heavier on braking, 4 days is about all you're going to get on any brake pad on these cars with stock calipers...
Some tracks are easier on brakes and will help last longer, but advanced level driving and a track that's hard on brakes will eat up pads. There's nothing really unusual to see here. Cheapest solution is a front bbk.

Here is an interesting theory, maybe the pads were too cold? If they aren't up to operating temps, they could get chewed through faster. But if you aren't doing Traction off or pedal dance, stability control is going to beat up the pads, which may have been worse in wet conditions. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk |

Sort of wondered if the Carbotechs had a bad batch as well. |
