You're eating pads that fast with the Paragon kit? Geez. My first suggestion is definitely run with DSC off and see if that helps but even with DSC on, with that kit, a good pad should last a really long time.
Two data points somewhat related: 1) On my car (sort of an E92 M3, 3200lbs) with stock calipers, and Girodisc front rotors, no cooling, DSC off, I can run a whole season (20-25 days) at Watkins Glen in the Advanced/Instructor group (2:09-2:11 pace) on a set of PFC11s. I actually got all of last season and the first two days of this year on one set.
2) My wife's MINI would eat a set a pads every couple days, over the winter we installed the 4 piston Paragon kit for it (largely from yours and other reviews here so thanks) with GLoc R10 pads and the first two days this year [at Pittrace] we shared the car and were really mean to it and barely have a measurable amount of pad wear.
The data is really hard to interpret without a reference trace, especially if we don't know the track well. If there is anyone around that's faster than you in a similar car (doesn't need to be exactly the same) ask them if they have AIM data or if you can stick your Solo in their car for a session. Laying your speed trace over theirs will make it super obvious if you're doing everything right, or where you can improve. For braking you want to see where they brake, how sharp the "point" is at the top, and then how steep the deceleration phase is.
