Wear Areas On Brake Disc Friction Surface

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Porsche 911, 2023 Porsche 911, and 2022 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

As the pressure force of a brake piston on the brake pad varies in magnitude, different areas of wear arise on the friction surface.

The brake disc can basically be divided into the inner/outer and central wear area:

The central wear area -B-  is the area with the highest degree of wear.
