Default how many hpde's left on these pads?

think these pads will survive 2 days of expo? are they too thin to use safely? they are panther p+ pads.

close up of the pad thickness.

i have already ordered some new cobalt race pads that i will break in and have ready for the event.

These might make it. **Definately** bring a spare set of OEs or the cobalt pads.

I have a spare set of Panther + pads with a tad more thickness that those. if those run out, you can have mine for a 6 pack.

That has nothing to do with it...... all track pads will look like that after one day. Its really the thickness. Those pads will probably make it if you take them to the backing plate but a spare set is essential in this situation.

not that RJ needs any, but as somebody who has a fair amount of track laps under his belt........i will provide backup and say that they might make it......but to definitely bring spares.

since some people think these are still usable, anybody who will be at the expo can have these pads (+ oem rotors) for free.

I'm going to an event this weekend with P+'s that look just like that.

They cost too much to throw them away when they get a little low... I do have a second set though, and expect to put them on at some point during the weekend.
