its all physics and friction, the harder the pads the more wear on the discs, think of the hard erasers and the soft staedler erasers on pencil lead, the paper wears out after rubbing with the hard ones and there is a lot of rubber shavings when you use the soft one.
if oem had no dust than they will get claims on worn discs, but pads are wear and tear....saying that conman's 545i discs sold to Ricky must have been using hard pads...
i think the enjoyment is thinking abt the temp and the special stopping qualities which make us buy
the aftermarket ones, like getting new wheels......
anyhow its nice to see Mark a newbie with 19inch babes rather than your staid 16....

Hmmm would prefer pads to wear out vs. discs i think? M5 discs are pricey to replace...

capt 16 and with no brembos or bbk is trying to tell us about brake pads!!!!!
Capt, i don't get the bit where road pads have no dust and do not wear out the pads, so how does the brake stop the car with no friction????
and to wear out a set of oem 4 times around a track, is he driving a Ferrrai???? or a civic?
Sorry to be a bugger but you're still on 16's so its open season still!!!!
