Brake Wear
When I had my valves adjusted we checked the thickness of my brake pads. The pads are Mintex street pads.
Found the fronts to be about 15%. I reviewed my notes. The pads were changed 2800 miles ago but that included 6 HPDE days and 6 autocrosses. I think that is pretty good for the stress they received.

Love it! You've been having fun with your car👍👍
How did you like the pedal feel with the Mintex? What are you going to replace them with? |

I have been using Mintex MDB1068 for about 18 years and will continue using them. Good stopping power and rotor friendly.

The beautiful thing about 911 brakes is that it is super easy to change the pads!
How fast are the rears wearing? |

The rears have about 50% left after 4 HPDEs and a few Autocrosses. They are some old PBR's I had laying around.
