I have a 12 month old 997 C2 which has done 6k miles and a couple of trackdays. On both trackdays the brakes have faded dramatically and I've just had to have all the pads replaced and new fluid owing to the fact that the brake performance is now abysmal (glazed pads and a soft pedal).
I was going to clean the pads up but when they came off the car they were breaking up badly - not worn particularly but badly glazed and cracking badly.
My question is whether this is "normal". I've never experienced that level of brake fade and deterioration in any other car and, to be honest, am astonished that a 65k "performance" car can't do more than a couple of sessions on an airfield without the brake pedal hitting the carpet.
I've had to have OE parts put back on but am also interested in suggestions for improvements (my guess is that I'm going to need to swap them again before the summer's out). Pagid Blue or Yellow? Castrol fluid?
Thanks for any insights.....
