maybe max will be less 10% of the life of the disk but not much at all.

most of us change the disk also to racing 1s so the disk will last foreven for me.
I change disk and pads last time at 450k and still had 65% left on them.
I dont brake most of the time, I just let the car roll.
oic...thanks for the reply in details ..

my ferodo and keith EBC are less dust when compared with OEM.
but we don't know which one is better.
For road use, i think both are good enough already.

But EBC have yellow, green and red stuff. Keith and other E60er in forum would suggest red stuff which is the best among 3, comparing dust produce and brake reaction.

You also can ask ricky who have experience on EBC and my ferodo.
Might be you can search in forum and try a new brand.
