My car has 55K with the original brakes. Still work great! But I am about to upgrade to cross-drilled/slotted rotors and new red calipers and pads.

find an independent Porsche mechanic to do the job for you. You'll save a ton of dinero. At least the dealership won't get more of your money.

As much as this isnt what you want to hear, brakes are a wear and tear item, and are typically not covered by any warranty, except as has been mentioned before, BMW. BMW is awesome to deal with on warranty work, they just fix things.

Porsche is a bit of a hardass on warranty claims, but, in their defense, brake rotors are wear items and they have no idea that you tracked the car, drove it like a jackass, or gave it a garage queen life.

Its worth ********************ing to PCA and Porsche customer relations, but I'm not sure how far you're going to get.
