Vaporized M3CS pad* (remove your brake duct covers!)
**Edit** seems like the biggest thing I could've done better is remove the brake duct covers. I just assumed the CS was set up front the factory ... oops.
So. Did a day of HPDE and blew through the stock pads (steel), damaged the rotors. Looks like I’ll need a new set of front rotors/pads. Rears look pretty good. Car otherwise drove great. Fast, stopped great, balanced. Track mode and aggressive settings except comfort chassis. Maybe the leftover nannies contributed to accelerated wear? Top speed ~150mph. About 90*F ambient temp in intermediate group at Summit Point Motorsports track, WV.
If you’re going to drive the the car hard, look at more robust pads. Great experience otherwise but sad to rip through pads so fast. It might be slightly on me because I also burned up pads (while damaging rotors) on 718 gt4, GR86, SS1LE.
Have fun out there! Now to find some replacements for the street.
