Track Brake Pad longevity

[986tate]

I had a 944 track car and when I added hose ducts I nearly doubled my pad life

^^^ This -- add the gt3 brake ducts for the Boxster -- its cheap -- maybe $30-50 a pair.

Both Darren and I have the GT3 air deflectors, unless you mean something else? I paid under $12 for the pair from Pelican, so yes, well worth the money.

Nope that was what i was referring to -- I couldn't remember the price -- so even cheaper than I remembered. Maybe the cheapest performance part Porsche sells :-)

I’ve run Mosport many times. It is a momentum track that usually does not require hard braking, especially on a low hp car. I’d lean more to driving style than pads. I use Hawk DT60 and get 8 days out of them. Mostly at Watkins Glen now, which has two hard braking zones.
You might want to run Track Addict or similar data and evaluate your turn in, apex and exit speeds. You are surely losing time if you’re braking that hard.
