I was learning so much about the cars dynamics I left it at 3 clicks (pretty dang firm)the entire time. I went with stock pads for my first day as I figured Sears Point is primarily a turn track and not much opportunity to overheat the brakes, and I am still not pushing the limits...just gradually tip toeing up toward he limits which are fairly high....
I think I put 3,000+ miles of wear on them in one afternoon!!!!...I am already starting my savings account for new pads ( I am torn between a dual purpose pad ie Ferodo DS2500 vs a track pad is Pagid 29) and some track wheels ie apex 9.5 18" square set up....

You have to get your beast on the track, it is really at home on the track...a total blast!!!!
