Expected Pad Wear Rate

Morning,

Need opinions on whether I get another three days from a brand new set of pads OR whether these rotors will burn up the pads in a day.

$900 for a new set is fine with me IF I can get the best part of a 3 day event. If your opinion, however, is that they'll just eat a set in a day -- well then I'll just put that $900 toward the Giro or AP Racing set-up I'll go to over the winter. This is the first experience I've ever had with ceramics.

Stray observations so we don't get irrelevant replies:

• The rotors have 6 days on them (all Watkins Glen)
• Pads will be (and have been) Pagid RSC-1 (made for ceramics)
• The Z/28 runs on slicks
• I've been racing and/or driving track for 27 years
• The next track will be Summit Point (high HP and big brake zones)
• Obviously, need the opinions of guys with track experience w/ceramics

Thanks
