At your insane grip and pace that sounds about right. I'm running a used set of A052 (a couple sessions and some AutoX before I got them - they were on a set of wheels I grabbed) on stock suspension without aero -- and I mean, tread depth is fully gone after 6 sessions, and I rotated them...
I've noticed the same -- and IIRC it was more so on the inner right pad for me -- but that might be track/use dependent, as that's the side that is loaded up the most.
I flip my pads every few events. I flip outside to inside opposite side of car, and vice versa in order to maximize pad life.
They at least fixed the angles. The original design looked like they were made by a blind person with how awfully they didn't match the body lines. I still think they stick out a bit too far, and I'd much rather a gloss black than carbon fiber finish (but that's a personal preference).

No one is providig incorrect information. A Limited Lifetime Warranty on V3 does not cover track use -- I've seen the communications from KW about it. No one is discussing rebuild service -- I'm speaking critical failure - severed shock bodies.
You can take anyone's recommendation you want. It...
You don't have to believe it. I'm not forcing you too, but it doesn't change the reality. I'm glad you like KW, truly, enjoy it. That doesn't mean I have to recommend it to others, and you also have to be okay with that.
I ran Fortune520's (I was the dev car and they were free), and JRZ RS Pro...
I'm glad you had positive results -- no one is discounting your personal experience.
I run the Supra A90 track group, and it was an unfortunate regular occurrence across all their consumer offerings -- to the point it became a unanimous "please don't buy" every time someone brought it up. I...
yea….I won’t go near KW, unless it’s something from their motorsports department. The consumer grade options have gone way down hill and are riding on the name. Their CS was atrocious when it came to the A90 issues too - which were plentiful and critical failures.
My opinion on the Airtec because it's in a location that is likely to result in a catastrophic failure in the event of an off-track excursion. It sits below the body line. Even the G8X BMWs which run a floor flush-mounted oil cooler run into failures in that location.
The HEL is just first to...
The HO will definitely have HO stamped on the sidewall. I've had them.
They are also both 240TW...the HO is not lower treadwear.
Keep an eye on the center out rib...it's going to get torn up with understeer. Kinda standard Cup2 bullsh*t, but it's amplified on FWD with minimal camber
