Default cobalt friction

Stupid Carbotech sent me the wrong pads two days before my track event, I might have no choice but to overnight a set of pads to the hotel. I am leaning on the XR3 by Cobalt Friction. Anyone used them? How are they in terms of performance and rotor wear? I will be getting XR3 for front and rear.

I've already posted about these pads.

I like them a lot! I run XR2 in the front and XR3 in the rear. I'm still getting used to the torque they generate.

Plus, the customer service is unbeatable. As you have seen, they'll over night pads if necessary.

I'm looking forward to your comments.

Brake wear varies. Mine last 4-6 track days. Which is somewhere between 3-400miles. By then, they get a tad thin for a full event. But they still have meat on them.
