Bumping up this thread with hopes of getting the few who daily drive with DS3.12 to chime in.

How much more rotor wear are you seeing compared to something like the DS2500?

My car gets a mixed use as a daily, track machine and canyon carver (some sections really put a lot of heat into the brakes). I have a 992 C2S with some power upgrades so I’m at around 600hp and the factory pads just can’t keep up. My concern is if the DS2500 might not be enough too. I have previously used them on my E92 M3 with great results on track but that car had less power.

I would not run the DS2500 on a 600hp car. They just aren't designed for that. Definitely run the DS3.12 or DS1.11.

I had 1.11 and 3.12 on my GT3 for road and track use. The 1.11 where MUCH smoother to the discs compared to the 3.12. For track use only the 3.12 are better.

Thank you for chiming in! The decision will be between DS3.12 and DS1.11 in that case. From what I gather, the DS3.12 is quieter while the DS1.11 is easier on the rotor?

Thank you for the feedback. Did you notice the 3.12 being quieter than the 1.11?
