Well after 2 track days, the front pads were at about 30% and I replaced them with StopTech 309 pads. The tires were also destroyed and replaced with a set of Kumo Ecsta PS91 going 10mm wider all around. It was interesting to note that the stock rear Pirelli Corsa tires did rub on the inside while on the track. We'll be back at the track on Monday and if those Kumo's are finished off too, the car will probably see a set of AD08Rs or RE-71Rs next.
Overall, I was very pleased with the performance of the car and have about 6 more track days lined up for the remainder of the summer.

After 250 track miles, the factory front tires were chunking and the rears were worn evenly down to the wear bars.
The front brakes were at about 30% and the holes in the rotors were filled with brake material. A quick shot of air blew the holes clean after the rotors cooled down.
The new Kumo tires had better grip and better wear than the factory Pirelli Corsa rubber although they did squeal being a street tire. As far as brakes, the car will get race pads for the next track day as the 309s wore pretty rapidly after only 4 sessions.

What run group was your brother in with the car? I was going to stop by to say hi when I saw it, but it was too hot to be wandering the paddock aimlessly. (Thursday/Friday at NJMP)

He was in white. We were parked over on the east side of the main garages. It was certainly hot but at least there was a little wind blowing; yesterday there was no wind and it was painful
