my strategy when I started to run into a similar type of problem (brake pads disintegrating and eating my budget) was to go to endurance race pads - for me the Hawk ER1 pads seem to be working well.
I use Hawk Blue pads, they brake great and don't wear out.
I recently put Hawk Performance Ceramics (yellow box) on my FL5 for daily driving to combat the insane amount of brake dust that OEM pads have. So far they feel really good! They seem to have an initial bite that is a little more aggressive than the OEM pads, but still have good modulation. FWIW I live in the south and I haven't yet driven them in cold temps. I've read that ceramics can have a weaker initial bite when temps are near freezing but I haven't had a chance to evaluate that.
Malalim lang ang break.
Hawk DTC 70 or 60 are great and not too expensive, plus they didn't squeel for me on the street.
Hawk 5.0 Street Pads, if u want to do a mix of street, spirited and track driving, I run them on my GR86, and no issue. Though they do squeel a bit when its cold out.
I upgraded to EX brakes with some junkyard drilled/slotted rotors and Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. They were leaps and bounds better, but I have boiled DOT3 more than a few times and can sense the brakes when they get hot and I'll simply ease up and go with a slower pace.
You could look at Hawk Enduro pads and see if they last longer but you'll probably net less braking power so you'll need to recalibrate your markers a bit. 3100lbs and 300hp - dtc60s last me 8-11 track days (though one of my local tracks is easy on brakes) based on my experience last year running in advanced groups - including multiple open sessions with 30-50m long runs.
Ford fusion, shitty undersized brakes for the car
Happens to me as well on the track. The Hawk “ street performance” pads I used aren’t cutting it.
