Service brake pads light at 10,000 miles?

[motoadve]

I have a 987Boxster with 10,000 miles and today got the warning light of Service brake pads.
I use this car for mountain twisty roads driving (hard)
Never been to a track.
Is this normal?

Also whats the best brake pads you guys recommend?
Stopping power wise.

Normal? Sure, you drive "hard" on twisty mountain roads!

Stick with OEM pads.

For $2K you can get bigger brakes too:

Sorry, I just realized that these won't fit a 987 just the 987S. Pretty cool though for other "S" owners.

They also offer the "S" brake kit for the 986 owners. It's about $1.2K.
