The problem is that there isn't a good way to gauge how much heat is being put into them. Cook them, and they won't last longer than steal.

I'm interested in being educated on this manner and would certainly like to hear some real world positive experience regarding longevity. I believe I could get them and have them last, but I've done a lot of my own research. It's an expensive gamble to make.
I mean, you could check when you come off track with a pyrometer? Also not sure what you mean by "cook them"

I had Gen1 PCCB on my GT3 and did multiple track days - the general words of wisdom is that you really need to swap pads at 50% life to avoid extra heat build-up

This is a very long thread on the Porsche PCCB - I was planning to get them re-surfaced once they started to wear - this was on a 2004
