OK, Not a question for You with cheramic discs but the rest on steel discs. Mine is now on original and 144 000 km....

10 years and almost 40K miles on the 997

My wife's macan I swapped out pads at 50K front and rear. Almost as 100k miles and going to do front and rear pads and rotors.

Do Porsche owners have disks resurfaced when only changing worn pads, or change pads and go if disc thickness is fine?

Johan, That is long! PDK or manual?

My car is a daily driver. I accelerate and brake more aggressively than most drivers. My wear sensors tripped at about 45k miles. There was not a lot of meat left on the rotors to resurface so I replaced them.

Now I have almost 80k miles on the car and I suspect (from looking at the pad thickness) that I have maybe another 5k miles left in them The rotors are grooved and will need replacement again.

This is on an '09 C2 convertible.

Long debate on whether it is possible. Some say yes and some say no. You can find arguments for both.

until equal to measurement of brake pad back plate.

2009 C2S

My pads went at around 75K.... rotors were within limit but right at the border. I chose to change the rotors too.... I don;t know how much more I would have gotten from the rotors, but I changed them figuring I would't have to change anything again until 150K miles. Regarding resurfacing, yea, sure you can do that, but again, since they last so long anyway, I don;t know what you are buying.... change it out and you will have no issues for a long time.

Fronts were replaced before I bought the car at 38k. I will probably do the rears this year around 55k. The rears show some cracks. Car started life in LA. Glad I don't have to drive in that traffic. I expect I should make it to at least 85k before I need to replace them again.

09 C2 purchased with 61k miles. Front rotors & pads already replaced when I bought it... likely in the 50-60k range. Rears are still original now with 64k miles on it and look like they'll still last a bit longer (.5mm above min). Will just swap out rear rotors and pads at the same time sometime later this year or next.
