I think what DanielDudley says makes sense. Give the rotors a rest for a touch in the middle of a stop. Even if it's a long wimpy light pedal stop.

Deal is with the 911 it's nice to have the big grab when you need it, optimally, when you are planning for it. If you change compounds, the same wear rules apply. Although, ceramic will last forever with compromised stopping power vs organic breaking down much faster with better stopping force.

I think factory pads are pretty hard (my fronts have lasted a long time). I upgraded to the Boxster calipers 10 years ago in front and those factory pads don't wear much either.

I am not Bill Verburg with respect to brakes, but on the upside, I am just rambling.

Hope you all had a good weekend.
