Dark Horse OEM Pad wear per track day - does this sound Reasonable?

[Junkyard Dog]

Including photos of my front oem pads to compare- I can still vaguely make out the text on the pads and while it does look similar to what yours have on the new ones - I did notice that the last numbers after ‘w’ are slightly different - mine have ‘23’ vs yours which have ‘25’ , which would make sense if that indicates the year they were made but idk for sure -

You can give it a Try for sure as we discussed S650 has a totally different brake system and better rear brakes. In the S550 the Ice Mode happens with high grip 200TW tires, aggressive pads and a driver who stab the brakes really hard in the brake zones without hesitation. Hope that helps.

The Dark Horse handling package comes from the factory with 180 tw tires, but the pads are obviously meant to operate on the street. They do stop this heavy beast hard, though.

"Braking distances aren't as sexy as horsepower and acceleration, but if you're going to be fast, you need to stop fast. The Dark Horse has that covered. In fact, it out-brakes every production car we've ever tested. Its 86-foot 60-0-mph stop edges out the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS and 2016 Dodge Viper ACR by 1 foot.

That 86-foot stop wasn't an anomaly, either. In order, we recorded stops at 92, 91, 90, 88, 87, 90, 86, 89, 88, 90, 91, and 90 feet. The list of cars that match or beat the Mustang's longest 92-foot stop is dominated by Porsche but also includes giants such as the McLaren Senna, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano, and the best Chevrolet Corvettes. It's clear from the results that the six-piston Brembo front calipers and two-piece rotors perform better with some heat in them and don't fade.

You might think that kind of eye-popping stopping power would be too aggressive anywhere but the track, but the Dark Horse maintains its status as a proper road-worthy sports car with superb pedal feel. The initial travel has a solid cushion that allows for smooth daily driving before stiffening up beyond that with a feel reminiscent of a booster-less stock car, only there's no extreme effort required. The Dark Horse feels at home on the track or street, just be aware of what's behind you before stomping that pedal—the Mustang is capable of out-stopping virtually everything else on the road."

We knew the Dark Horse was going to be awesome. We didn’t expect it to break a MotorTrend performance record.
