I have 27k on the car, with 6mm depth left on the front pads.

I have been advised by my shop to replace them soon. If they were

standard steel rotors I would consider them good for several K more.

I am looking for suggestions of other manufactures of pads for pccb.

Is Porsche the only source for pads?????

Just buy OEM Porsche pads at Sunset. Fronts are about $328 and rears are $358. They are not that much more than standard pads, $213 and $151 respectively.

How hard are you driving the car. I know of people that have over 100k and they have 80% left. This is not Normal unless you are racing. You may want to check on something else is going on.

+ 1 for Dr Wood, either you have no PCCB brake system or there is something wrong with. Check this out first.

I have not tracked this car, yet. I do drive it like it is meant to be.....

I am having trouble finding the spec's on what a new set of PCCB pads start out at?

I have seen reference to 10mm and 8mm.

I plan to pull the fronts off this weekend and mic them, and check the wear pattern.

For the most part I was looking for advice on pads from other manufactures than Porsche.

But I guess, in most cases, it's hard to outsmart the boys in Stuttgart...........

Call Phil Coy (503-641-8600) at the Sunset Porsche parts department, and ask him. Great guy!!
