A few pics attached pf the pads just removed from an 11000 mile car, no warning light came up on the dash at all but they look pretty wasted. Any thoughts from experts on the forum pls?

I am surprised they are that worn after 11K. How did you notice without a light coming on? Noise? Any response from the OPC yet?

It is most odd as has been said before. The RS 29s on mine are still over half life after 15k miles on the rears and a bit more left on the fronts (and that includes several track days). The OEM pads that came off at 10k miles had loads left on them too. I have PTV and all that stuff on mine too.
What did the fronts look like?
 
I believe from an earlier post, the rotors were also showing signs of premature wear, so this appears to be an abnormal situation.

David, I recall it was suggested earlier you sought a second opinion and appraisal of the problem. Was there any feedback from that?

Regards,

Clive.
 
Have taken car to RPM and JZM who both agree wear is early.

I have started a wider discussion with Porsche GB whcih hopefully will be sensible
