Boxster S brakes?

[Topless]

S brakes will work fine with stock 17" rims as long as the wheels are straight. Get some track-capable pads in there so you don't burn down the "S" brakes next.

Hawk Blue-good
Pagid Orange- better
Raybestos ST-43- best

When the outside temp is 80 or lower I use EBC Yellow Stuff ceramic mostly because of cost. When the temp is higher than 80 I use Pagid black RS14 Ceramic. I use Zimmerman rotors. I find in the White solo group with late passing I'm harder on my brakes. A group of about 15 of CPA-PCA run Watkins Glenn about 4 times or more a year. We all carry at least one extra set of pad every weekend we're there. First time at Summit Point We had a multi Group solo track day. I had new pads put on Thursday EBC Yellow Tech and flushed with Blue High temp fluid. Sunday there were 2-1 hour sessions The lap before the Checker would have came out on the first session pedal to the floor and in the gravel turn 1. Pulled the pads had an 1/8" to 3/16" lining left. Just the fronts. I'm thinking a bad set of pad but :ah:

Wow! Maybe a sticking caliper. My brother had problems with crud in the front calipers that were not fully releasing and after several flushes they seem to improve. I typically get 20 track days (2000 track miles) on the ST-43s in front, 40 or more days on the rear. I have used RS-14s and RS-29s but get a lot more life out of the 43s with better modulation.

We do have a couple of hills out here as well.

Awesome picture I'm guessing the downhill complex Luguna Seca. My guess would be that puts a knot in your stomach the first time hit the lefthand at the top and turn blind into that downhill at speed. Thank you for your comments. and advise.

+1, you really shouldn't be burning the pads as quickly as you say.
