Default DTC 60s only lasted 3 track days

I tried some Hawk DTC 60 pads on the stock brembo calipers. They only lasted 3 track days. On my 240sx and Willwood Superlite Calipers, they seem to last forever.

What pads are you running for track and how long are they lasting you?

I go at least a season on Raybestos ST43/42's on Stoptech/Brembo combo...Hawk and Carbotechs have always been **** on wear.

I'll follow up here. I did 3 track days on new rotors and G-Loc R16 pads. I have about 75% pad life left. They worked great.

A back to back comparison with DTC 60s, the DTC 60s have more cold bite, the R16s have to warm before the work properly like any true track pad I've experienced. The G-Locs come on more gradually and are easier to modulate. That made the DTC60s seem like they had more bite but ultimately stopping power felt the same between the two compounds. Rotor wear is much better on the G-Locs. The G Locs are lasting longer, the DTC60s only lasted 3 track days. 3 track days on the G-Locs and I still have 3/4s of the brake pad left. I had zero issues with fade with the G-Locs.

I have 10 years experience tracking cars and messing around with brakes & different compounds. However, I am no brake expert. This is purely what I experienced and my opinion.

If you are not familiar with G-Loc, they spun off from Carbotech.
