After almost 15 years, 73K miles, and hundreds of autocross events I broke down and upgraded the brakes on the S2000.
Surprisingly, the OEM front pads have about 30% life left and the rears are at 50%. The OEM rotors are still in great shape with no ridges, grooves, or obvious wear. I probably could have scuffed them and reused them.
I swear our S2k's are twins (except for the amount of autocross events). Same color, year, mileage and now similar brake wear. I replaced all my rotors and pads with oem about two years ago and steel braided lines. I sure miss those original ap1 pads and their initial bite, the civic pads that replaced them do not share in that characteristic. Oh well, recently had my original rotors machined for a spare track set ( purchased track pads also). Shop I took them to said there is plenty of material left on them. They did an excellent job, even bead blasted the hats, they look brand new. Can't wait to swap them on and bed the pads for the track event at NYST.

Now that the SCCA is back at Seneca Army Depot, have any thoughts about autocrossing?
