February 15, 2012 - Maintenance time for the Targa car.
I'm changing it over to track spec, and pulled the rotors off for a peek. And what I saw looked very familiar. The pad wear is even on both sides, it's just that the inner face of both front rotors is heavily worn. Interesting. I'm guessing it's related to heat, as the inner face has a dust shield on it while the outer does not. I'm going to do a bit of research here. I do know that the Performance Friction PFC 97 pads can be rough on rotors when cold, but I would expect that to affect both sides.
A new set of rotors is going on, of course. The pads are about 40% worn by eyeball measuring, which isn't bad considering how much I used the brakes this time. Faster car with worse tires means more braking.
