Wise decision. Rule of thumb for track days .... if there is anything less than 5mm or pad material left, change them.

The wear rate difference is between the first 5mm of pad material and the second 5mm of pad material is amazing. The purpose of that second 5mm of material is really to act as insulation for the caliper pistons.

Steel backing plate on steel rotor does not slow you down much either
