I recently replaced the OEM pads in our 06 Boxster with a poterfield pad. The OEM's had been through 5 track days where the ambient temps were in the 80's and 3 track days where we drove in the rain. The car has 8K mile son it with most of the non-track time on Interstates.

The fronts were around 4MM, the rears around 8MM. More importantly, there were hairline cracks on every pad; one rear was cracked through to the backing pad.

Is this typical? The pad had the brand name "Galfer" on it..FWIW.

My take away on this was anyone doing more than a few DE's on OEM needs to have them pulled out and inspects for more than wear.

Thanks for any help in advance.
