People With Portefield R4-S Pads??

How is the brake dust?

Are they tough on the Rotors?

FYI: my 986 S has about 50,000 miles on my rotors. I purchased the car at 30,000 miles and I'm assuming thier the original rotors.

Hi,

Dust is not bad, at least not as bad as my former Mintex Blue Pads were. They are definitely more agressive than OEM so far as Rotor Wear is concerned, but of course, your mix of Driving and Driving style have a lot to do with the mileage you get from the Rotors with any Pad.

Depending upon your Driving Style and conditions, at 50k mi., I would estimate that your Rotors are maybe 2/3 to 3/4 used. The Minimum Wear Tolerance is 22.6mm (0.89") Front and 18.6mm (0.72") Rear. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
