Well I have worn a new set of front pads down to app 3-4 mm thickness over 2 track day events that involved 6 warm up 30 hot and 6 cool down laps @ my local track and if they were used for another track day I fear that the pads would be word down to the backing plate and damage the rotors
I have looked at many types of pad compounds that will give great cold stopping power for the events with no warm up laps as well as really good hot retardation without any fade or loss of pad to disc grip and have considered the following pads.
EBC Yellow Stuff
Circo S88
PMU Club racer
Winnmax WMP814
Intima SR pads
Forza FP3M351KA
After much deliberation have ordered the Forza pads as am told that they have a working temperature range of 0-800 degrees and are Quote " kind to the discs" but unfortunately they won't be in stock before the next track day so have cancelled my entry.
If the car was only street driven the pads would have lasted for many more thousands of miles / klm's BUT track work shortens pad life dramatically.
Will post my opinions as to how well they perform after they are fitted ,and bedded in and track tested.
