The last service, done by JZ Machtech, mentioned that the caliper plates were starting to lift and they would need doing at the next pad change. My pads are still ok but the discs are very near to the minimum thickness of 25mm, they have a big ridge round the outside and with a track day at Bedford on the 28th Feb i'm thinking maybe i should get them done before i go.
Now i was thinking of EBC Green stuff too, but this thing with the discs getting scored and turning blue, hmm. It appears that the EBC G's don't produce as much dust as the average pad and they need a little more heating up to get them to their best, so it sounds like they must be a bit harder than the Porsche standard equipment.
I constantly hear from forum members, which are usually a little biased anyway but also from knowledgable friends and in track day books that Porsche brakes are highly regarded and make other expensive manufacturers brakes look poor in comparision, where theirs start to fade after a few enthusistic laps, the Porsche brakes are well up to the job, i'm not saying racing but just track days.
I haven't heard of anyone else complaining of their discs/rotors being savaged by these pads, could it be something to do with NOT using Porsche original equipment? where their materials are better? I know some people fit other/cheaper products than Porsche replacement discs etc and maybe that causes the extra wear and tear.
