Porsche Boxster (1997-2004) - Brake Pads & Rotors - Page 1
I learn something new everyday...thanks. On my Elantra because its front wheel drive the front brakes wear out twice as fast as the rears...so i figured since this car is rear wheel drive the rear brakes would wear faster... I also noticed that the Front brake pads are actually larger than the rear brake pads.... why is that? Are the rotors larger too I'm guessing ?

Pretty much any vehicle will have larger brakes at the front axle, as weight bias is thrown forward when on the whoa pedal. Boxster brakes are quite capable. From what I've read, most spec racers will only upgrade pads when setting up their cars.
