Default RS3: New Brakes @ 9000 miles?

I drive mostly highway miles with the exception of 2 track days (~60 degrees both days). My front pads are already needing a change with my rear pads looking near new. Anyone else seeing premature front brake wear (non-ceramic)? Replacing with stock pads? I'd prefer to not have to change my pads more than I change my oil.

Im surprised you survived 2 track days with stock pads! Must be a light track day.

Agreed. Pretty easy to go thru a set of stock pads in a typical 10 session weekend at the track. Especially if it is a high speed track with big braking zones.
