How hard on StopTech rotors are Pagid Orange pads?

Well, perhaps I should rephrase...say I didn't take my Pagid's off until after track season.
I don't drive the car during the week and really only use it for fun on the weekends. Living in an apartment, changing and bedding pads is a pain in the ***. I'm wondering if I'm going to kill my pads or rotors if I keep them on for the summer. Right now, I've had the pads on for about 1500 miles and the rotors are perfect and I think the pads look good.

I run Pagid Orange year round
since my S4 isn't a daily driver. I haven't noticed any unusual rotor wear and the pads still seem to have a lot of life left. I typically do 3-4 track days per year and don't want to go through the pain of having to bed new pads everytime.

Ah, thanks guys, that's what I wanted to hear. I'll swap them after August when the season starts
to wind down, but as it stands right now, I have at least 7 track days before then and I really don't feel like swapping the pads every month.

The Orange Pagid is probably the best performance, low rotor wearing pad that you could get
For a performance pad, they are very rotor friendly. Everything is a compromise, but I think that you would be pleased with the rotor wear rate with STOPTECHS and Pagid Orange pads. We have raced with that combination and did not experience rotor grooving at all.
