Um no, I had the rotors replaced, then got a new type of pads.

The rotors held up like champs today, no warping what so ever.

However in 3 hours I went through 3/4 of my brake pads and the following happened to my calipers. I think I need to ease up on the poor brakes.

Oh...did I not ?

So are they still stock rotors with different pads, or did you change them both out?

Yes still stock rotors (just changed because the old ones were warped and or deposited) but a different type of pad.

Front

12/10

Yes.

Keep in mind I'm brutal at the track drive every session the full session at full speed. I don't think that's going to happen to your average driver.

Oh yea, I had to switch to stock brakes the second day since I killed the full set of the fronts. They worked VERY well for stock pads. Very easily usable for the track noob. No need to go out and get a set of track pads if you've never been on track before.
