Angry Any user with damaged Tarox metal ceramic disc?

About 900€ expensive thread...

Friday at oil change looked to inner side discs and founded massive cracked ceramic fields on booth discs. Is it common fauilure after max 15 000km and one year moderate use? Car was driven with me and wife like normal city sedan, no speeding, no trackdays som Iam really ....
Do you have same experience and what with warranty?
Any help how to solve this problem is wellcome I dont want loose my money with dealer reply like: Due extensive heat....

Another question:
Is Tarox 10pot for 16" wheel any good or it is marketing only?

I went for an AP Racing kit instead of the Tarox 6 pot kit couple of years back after a company testing them on their demo car had the calipers/pistons seize during some spirited driving.

They decided not to sell the Tarox kits in the end, and stayed with AP's.

To me, TarOx products are all designed for marketing appeal (and the max power brigade). Form over substance another words (sounds/looks good but doesn't really do the job)

If Tarox says it is not covered under waranty there is nothig to solve AP... but if they say it is under warr. then I want to swap for not ceramic best for 6 od 10pot kit and pay the difference. I dont believe for money back...
Anyway when ceramic works, stopping power is abnormal.
