@donk - Have you looked into the symptoms of the pad and rotor on other Corvette or track-focused forums?

I ask that because at the Porsche club, a few guys with the 997/991, and GT4s have a similar problem when using a specific brake pad and rotor combo. They took a similar approach where the stock pad and an aftermarket pad was swapped, but among them, they ran the track pad/rotor setup more frequently as it was mainly a track car.

I'm not suggesting this is the cause of your rotor wear, but it's a place to start looking in to.

Similar to Traum's advice, I feel it's best to replace the rotors. This isn't safe anymore.
