Their wear won't be quantified in just two events. They'll go longer than that. My observed rotor wear shows the ST43s are easy on them. You'll toss a set of front rotors due to heat checking before they reach minimum thickness. Non-corrosive brake dust, high temp limits. Very good torque. On the street, even when the transfer layer is wiped off, they have excellent cold bite.
I feel as though the ST43’s have better cold bite than even these Street/AutoX pads do. I just couldn’t get past the howling piercing screams from street braking. I also got tired of saying “they’re race pads” and my wife not wanting to ride in it
