NASA November Summit Point

[ViPER1313]

My Hawk Blues ate 1/4 in into both sides of the rotors and the pads were gone after about 4 or 5k miles. If you aren't going to use them in the future then no big deal.

another data point: i ran "race" pads on the hatch for probably four years of street use. i've never replaced a rotor and the pads didn't wear any extra amount.

I was just about to message adam about this. I checked my rotors the other day and I've been running race pads for pretty much 5 months and the rotors are completely fine. Adam what pads were you running because my carbotech xp10s seem to be rotor friendly

Work great on the track, but they are super aggressive on the rotors and they completely ate / ruined the finish on my wheels. The last time to the track I made sure to switch them back to street pads as soon as I drove home. I'll try some Carbotechs when my 2nd set of the Hawks is done.
