2003 Porsche Boxster Roadster S H6 3.2L Braking Rotors - 99635140501KT - Front Brake Rotors - Pair 12.51" (318mm) - ES#2535370

If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, but this is what I have read from a very well respected Porsche parts seller. I didn't just pull it out of the air.

Think about how thick a pad is. Then imagine a rotor thickness. There's no way a pad can wear about 3/8" into the rotor. Maybe with a paper thin pad and a rotor way past the limits.

See my above post.

EDIT: They said even with new pads, not paper thin.

Wouldn't be the first time a parts supplier had misinformation. Pelican had on their website replaceable plastic spark plug tubes for 2003 and 2004 Boxster. Those years of the Boxster do not have replaceable plastic spark plug tubes. I emailed them about it. They checked into it, found that was true and then sent me a thank you email for letting them know of the error.
