What is a good baseline for minimum pad depth on the XP10? I have a track weekend coming up in the fall and I'm trying to decide if I need to buy replacements now or if they will make it through one more weekend. I currently only have two weekends on this set of Carbotech XP 10's.

- 6 x 20 min sessions / day ?? - How many days ?? If you're trying to get 2 whole days in have at least 50% pad material left. One day... lil more than 1/3 brake pad remaining. NOW... How you determine how much pad material is left, is up to you.

A practical minimum pad material depth is 6mm (about 0.25") because once yu go below this amount of pad material, the heat levels will cause wear rate to accelerate.

Which is, coincidentally, about the same thickness as the pad backing plate...easy to compare. If you have less material than the thickness of the plate, time to replace!
