Update: exactly the same has happened on oem discs. Front and rear running rc5+ after 3 or so track days.
Braking performance was excellent except towards the end of the stint on only very deep into the pedal.
Running cup2’s
Not tried the skim yet but will get all 8 done most likely as the price of new is madness for 3 track days.
The pads are barely worn which is incredible as I was getting through yellow stuffs in a single day and these must be on 8.
After a skim I’ll go with a much softer pad and possible some direct to disc cooling ducts or at least remove the heat shields.
Such a strange problem. I personally feel it is the pads but a swap will see. I might try the ebc race pad or blue stuff. Or maybe ds2500
Ouch! Depending how many track days you do a year I'd consider a BBK. Doesn't have to be crazy expensive. I've used K Sport fronts and OEM setup rears on 8 track days this year. Pagid RSL-29 pads, still got life in both front and rear and discs are also fine apart from some crazing on the front discs which is to be expected. Almost zero fade in 30 odd minute sessions, basically a fit and forget set up. Fine to use on the road also.
I'd be surprised if I didn't get another 4-5 track days out of the pads next year and same with the discs. I'd consider it personally, OEM setup could be a false economy depending how many days you do.
