I did a few laps in a 997.2 C4S that same day and I am pretty doubtful that a pad swap alone in the 328 would have brought the pedal feel and heat capacity up to that level (hence my comment that "I think anyone planning to track a 328 needs to budget for a brake upgrade")

Do you have the M sport brakes with a pad swap on your 335? How do you like them / how much lapping can you do before they overheat?
