Just changed the pads and disks (rotors) on my 'S'.

Standard pads are Textar and disks were Sebro. Replaced with the same.

The problem on the 3.2 (not sure about 2.5 and 2.7) is not so much the disks wearing out, it is more a problem of corrosion. This is a recognised problem with the Boxster. My disks looked a bit worn, and I decided to replace them. When I did, and looked at the backs of the ones I removed, the surface was actually broken up in a few places due to really bad corrosion.

I always make sure the disks are dry after washing the car and parking it in the garage. If I didn't do this, I'd hate to think what sort of condition the disks would have been in.
