Anyone with a 2003 E55 changing brake pads soon?

My brakes are shot after 2 track days and 3300 miles. I want to upgrade to performance or race pads but Porterfield cannot construct them without having the actual backing plates on the stock pads in their possession to copy exactly. If anyone is interested, we could get a discount on performance pads if we order together. If someone is going to replace their pads soon with factory pads, asking the service tech for the spent pads would be greatly appreciated.

Did anyone know that the calipers, rotors, and pads were identical on the E55 and the SL55? They share the same part numbers.
