Last update on this one.
Track season is done for me for the year. I made it out for 2 full days and 4 or 5 evening sessions at two short, medium-braking technical tracks (Grand Bend and TMP, Ontario) for about 250km worth of track. Far less than planned, stupid work.
I drove about 9000-10000km on the street over the summer, mixed city/highway.
The EBC Yellows are done. Fronts wore to the backing plates and had to be swapped mid-track-day yesterday. Put the OE Textars on for the winter at trackside. (Surprisingly, they were not incapable once I understood their limits and how to cool them)
EBCs were great while they lasted, but they didn't last long. My Hawk HP Plus, although garbage after a few laps, lasted me 2 seasons / about 400km of track + full summer usage x2, and still had material left on them.
Next season I will run the PFC08s, or possibly the Pagid Yellows or Oranges now that I have found a source for them locally.
I will not waste time with the EBCs again. You get what you pay for.
Aside; caliper boots are shredded again, so caliper rebuild is again due. Hopefully the piston bores aren't too damaged for a rebuild.
If anyone has a BBK for sale instead to put me out of my misery, PM me
