There could be a mechanical issue, like a stuck caliper piston, we don't know.

Spring Mountain seems to say CCB front rotors last them 4K mileage.
Front pads last 1.5K miles.

That's the mileage life the OP has.

SM also says CCB rear rotors last significantly longer.
Their rear pads last 3K miles.

I'd say that is strongest evidence as to CCB life is the car is tracked.

GM conclusion for the OP is.... ?
I think you misunderstood spring mountains reply. Those mileages are pure track miles. The OP has very few track sessions and otherwise was doing normal drives. The two aren’t comparable.

Straight from the Owner's Manual.

. I would add that other exercises (shifting with rapid stopping and threshhold braking (under 200 ft) at ~80 to stop repeatedly, have to be even harder on the pad/rotor wear per mile than track time. Almost everything I was doing there I was thinking “ this is pretty cool that I’m not beating my own car”...
