And as a side, I really like the Pagid RS19/29 front and Pagid RS14 rear mix... That works quite well... Have yet to play with PFCs though...

Rear rotor wear = incorrect bias?
i replaced my OEM front rotors last week with 10mm cracks around more than a few of the holes - scrutiny regs state 10mm max. luckily I bought a used pair off a wrecked 3 (don't ask) for $100 to buy some time while my brake poll runs it course 
... although I'm close to a decision but thats OT!
Anyhoo ... today I've just inspected my rear rotors and it seems the formerly 28mm is now 26 which is where the wear limit is. I'm a bit surprised running OEM pads and only just getting my front to the point of needing to replace that the rears are this worn. It seems from what Oz has written above there's no bias setting on the 6-3RS but I figured that the dual wear-out might mean my bias is off? I'm not locking up under heavy braking at the end of the straights but unfortunately I haven't had any temp gauges on hand at the track to test temps. perhaps I'd better start there? Or maybe better to check with service history to double check if rears are older than fronts although they said both replaced at 16k kms - now at 24k. Any suggestions for further investigation?
PS - re Spare and Blake 'it's just a phase' comment - are your times improving as your wear does too or are you maybe just chilling out and thus saving wear?

If your rear rotors are 8+ years old and have seen track time, I could see them being 2mm thinner with a combination of street and track driving.

I check lap times every lap at every track and I am always looking to shave a few 10ths. I compete with myself every time out.

^ then I've got some learning to do lol ... will be nice to be faster and wear less at the same time
^^ could be mike - thanks
