Was wondering what you guys are running the pads down to before changing them out? At $350pr I want to squeeze what I can out of them.

Can't help you out on the C6 but I pretty much use all the pad material on my Hawks on the C5Z. It does depend on how much use I expect for the 'next' event, though. As far as price I always check the price of particular pad design for brake caliper upgrades. Some calipers actually pay for the themselves fairly quickly with common pad designs.

I don't run the hawk pads, but for my carbotechs they are good to just under 1mm (I'm chicken to go lower)

I was thinking 1mm though that ain't much haha. Im using stock Napa rotors so I wonder how much heat they'll see at 1mm of pad material.
