My brakes started to groan a bit and rub as i pulled away after braking so today i had a look to see what was wrong and found this

they are performance friction pads been on less than a year with 4 trackdays. The pad has a lot of meat left on it but came away from the backing plate and broke in two.

Anyone ever had this before? I'm a bit peed off

Had Performance Friction on my old GTR and used them very heavily; never saw anything like yours before; have you taken this up with them? It may be a better form of recourse than a forum.

Yeah I just emailed them, just want to research if i am the only unlucky one or lucky depending on how you look at it, who has had this happen.

Never had that happen to me in all the different PF compounds I've used.

have had that happen with various manufacturers over the years but only generally when there is another issue.............
to de-laminate it has uaually been massively over-heated and could be caused by a number of factors including wrong compound choice for temps achieved, over-heated by seized/sticky calipers, over-loaded due to opposite axle under performing, etc.............

what exact car, set-up, compound???

His car is an 07 WRX, BC Coilovers, Brembo pads, DBA discs and the PF pads.
