Another brake pad suggestion post.

I run DTC60s up front and paired them with rear Powerstop track pads. I went through the rears down to the metal in a 2-day weekend. This is with full ducting. I did like them though. Has anyone else had the same experience?
With Stoptech rear pads, I have plenty of life left after a similar weekend.

Most people I know like running a very tame rear pad. I'd try Powerstop front pads if they made them in Wilwood fitment.

Edit: By comparison, my setup is stock calipers, blanks, front brake ducts. I have 6 track days on these pads this year and they probably have another 6-10 to go.

I'm on my second full set of PowerStop PSA 829 / 537s pads, although this time I have ducting on the fronts, rear ducting to come.
As said, they work VERY well. And, at ~$71 / axle (shop around.....) the price can't be beat.
I wanted to rebuild my current front calipers so I bought a set of the powdercoated PowerStop front calipers and they coating has held up VERY well over the 4 days I've used them. The red powdercoat is a bit much visually but I had to try them. Caveat emptor, while they are remanufactured, they were NOT Nissin brand calipers. I reached out to PowerStop and they did offer to replace mine with a Nissin brand. YMMV.

Of course, the cooling F&R definitely helps in the wear department.
