Not sure why they like recommending the lower torque pad on the rear since XP20 front and rear should be fine. My track car has XP20 front and PFC11 rear and it's very well balanced even on street tires.

He said I will have them next week. During my conversation I asked if they were safe to drive to the track, he said no problem but he wouldn't recommend tailgating anyone until they are warm.
Side note, I may not be able to return my Blue Stuff Front pads, apparently Perfect Brakes policy is 7 days. If that is the case, would anyone want them? I paid $336.30, just looking to recoup that, I will cover shipping cost in the US. |

They'll wear out your rotors quicker when cold but perfectly usable. I wouldn't worry about it.

So am I reading this correct? Pagid has track pads out?

When the pad material left is thinner than the backing plate, the pad material can burn off quickly with spirited driving and you risk scraping your rotors which easily more than doubles the cost of replacing the pads alone.

I would replace those so you don't have to keep such a close eye on the pads and potentially leave early. I picked up a stock, used set of pads from the FS forum to have as a backup. They're a very good backup at <$200 for both axles.

I would put these on before the track day and no worry about pad wear.

As for the rears which show about 5mm remaining. They wear much faster than the fronts, and speaking from experience you should watch these very closely after every session. In my world they would not last for a full day, but your experience may vary. Either way you are asking a lot from these particular pads.

For 9 months I used BMW OEM pads on track. They were the only thing available at that time. The fronts held up fine for a street pad, and I eventually got 9 track days out of them. These cars however have a heavy rear brake bias, and due to this and the small size of the rear pads I was unable to get more than a single track day from the rear pads. Several times I had to leave early, and once I failed to pay close enough attention, melted all of the pad material, and ground the backing plates into the rotors.
My point is that if you are going to use these pads on a track you need to pay very close attention to them regardless of the thickness of the material. Brand new (12mm) can go to 0 very rapidly, and 6mm can vanish frighteningly fast. Ultimately you need to switch to more robust pads. Thankfully there are now alternatives available. Do your homework, and no matter what you chose watch them like a hawk.

If you have not smelled them you haven't done the job.

Hmm, track pad shouldn't fade at all.
I've used Pagid Yellow, Hawk, and iSweep track compound. Initial bite always good and gets better when hot. I used brake pads that are recommended by my track friends and manufacturers. EBC wise, I never tried it. Almost, but decided not too after track friend doesn't recommend it.
