Default Cracked Brake Pads - Are they OK?

I have a trackday this weekend and wondering whether these pads will be ok.

Both of the front OUTSIDE pads look like this. I'm going to put them on the inside this time.

Are these OK to run for two more track days?




Thanks!

2 more track days? I wouldn't do 2 sessions on them.

I'm guessing they cracked due to heat.

OEM pads / regular street pads?

I'm guessing that too, last track weekend I did I boiled brake fluid, this is probably the result of that session.

They are Cobalt XR3's, probably need to step up one grade higher and lay off the brake a little more.

I would 100% still run those pads. I prolly wouldn't buy Cobalts again, but those will work just fine.

Seem fine to me. I'd run them.

Just as tip, dont run cobalts to the backing plate. the screws go into the material a little bit
