ST43 pads

anyone run ST43 pads? I tried the new wilwood BP-40 last weekend but I destroyed a set. I was happy with the bp40 performance except for wear, same with xp12 IMO, also happy with dtc60 except for the terrible rusting dust.

Thinking of giving st43 a try, I'm running 7816 pads

The st43 worked great, .8mm pad wear on the front at a track I've used up a whole set of fronts in a day at.

rotor temp 1000 degrees, no fade

Used same set at VIR this past weekend, full saturday and grand sunday.

Now at 7mm pad left with a little taper so I flipped the pads. I'm pretty happy with these pads, not too much bite for street tires, wear could be better but I'm at the temp limit for these pads, I could go to ST47 but they have a lot more torque so I'm sticking with these for now.
