After 3 track days plus 7000 street miles, I got a break wear light. Question: Any recommendations for pad replacement- - OE or after market? I will track the car no more 6 days a year and don’t mind brake noise with aggressive pads.

This is a follow up to my brake wear light. I replaced the pads, both front and back, but found that the front pads still had about 50% wear left and the rear pads were down to about 10%. Seems opposite of what one would expect. I've got rear wheel steering, so wondering if the combination of the rear wheel steering and stability control cause the rear brakes to work a lot on the track. I track in sport plus and leave the stability control on. Any comments?

The fact that the engine is in the back of that car adds a lot of weight to the rear and increases the pad wear in the rear.

Traction control could be the culprit. It’ll wear the rear pads mighty fast. I write this from the pit of my local track after having done the same as you to my 992 CS at 4800km!
