So How Long Do Your Pads Last?

[DodgeViper01]

So I started something about this last year and thought maybe it was just the first set and they were defective but yet again it seems to be starting again. Since I changed the pads last time at 19,224 miles, I am at 65% Rear and 55% Front and I now have about 30,900 miles on the car. After just about 10,000 miles I have used almost 1/2 of my pad life??? Is this unusual? I do drive around the city most of the time but give me a break.

Try the pedal to the right instead!

Seriously, I think it's your driving style. Didn't you also have clutch wear issues? Perhaps, you should show one of us how you drive during the next cruise.

I thought it was a rotor issue before.

F355, I dunno what the problem is. What kind of pads are you running?

Hey these are the perils you face when you lead the pack my friend ))))))) I would say in general not accounting for what type pad you run.With the weight of our cars if you get 10,000 miles and have a half of pad left you are doing just fine .

Yes it's how you drive! Now if those were "Citysnake" brakes, they would look like new!! [Grandma ]

WRONG Mr. T. I was just about to post that I have YET to replace mine at 28,000 miles! They last because I'm always on the GO pedal! See!
