21,000 miles so far on them including:
Track days at: Snetterton x 3, Cadwell, Silverstone, Knockhill
34 laps of the Nurburgring
1 Time Attack Round at Knockhill
Still on the original pads and rotors.
Front pads have about 3-4mm left
Rear pads have about 6 mm left
Rotors are still looking great !!
I love these brakes

Yet again these performed faultlessly on track and from the looks of it will be plenty good enough for a season of Time Attack.
At the end of a 20 minute session of getting progressively quicker and later braking they were still strong enough to lock the wheels coming into the chicane from 135mph.
Totally impressed still.
Had a chat to the guy from PF yesterday that was there to offer advice and he has recommended the 01 pads for more initial bite but the Z rated (.11/.10) are more than adequate. Will try and get some of these sorted for the first event.
Ducting seems to be doing enough to cool them and they had gone a lovely blue colour so wear working hard

Great news, I bought a set from BOB'5 and have only done a few miles on them so far, I also destroyed my standard disks/DS2500 at 37,000 miles !
Glad to hear these will last a decent length of time, and take the abuse....
Thanks to D1CCY for the advice !
Thanks for the feedback,
Another Duncan !

My DS2500 pads cracked and fell to bits as they were removed... to be fair my discs had worn to a suprising degree, (mostly on the inner face).

excellent reading this thread, thanks very much for the write ups. 
Am now considering retaining my brembo calipers and going for these instead of a big brake kit.

I bought a set of these on your recommendation and went to Oulton on Tuesday. I can honestly say they are fantastic - stopping power and no fade all day. Can't recomend them enough.

I did a day at Blyton, (Rally-Cross cicuit) and mine have blued....
But mine feel a little "dull" now, have I cooked the pads do you think ?
Pulled the wheel arch liners to get some air in as well !
Stopped me o.k. last night when brake tested by a d1ck in Peugeot cut into the outside lane on the motorway...
