Re: Brake rotor and pads time not sure what to get
How many miles were you guys at when your OEMs finally needed replaced? I'm at 97,000+ and the dealer says mine are still very good. I just find that a little hard to believe...

Re: Brake rotor and pads time not sure what to get
Im @ 57,000 + the issue I am having is the ruff winters of Europe and this wonderful powered crap they use on the roads instead of salt over here have eaten the rotors and they are rusting bad. Mixed with the high speeds of the autobahns wears down the rotors / pads I normal cruise @ 85 to 90+ mph on the autobahn, add in over sized tires (37in)  pad/rotors go bad faster.

Actually, having worked in a shop that did brakes, that does not suprise me at all. Brake life will vary with how and where you drive, but you will not find pads that will last as long, be as quiet, and and make as little dust as the OEM ones. They did get some things right at GM. Toyotas are the same way. Their brakes last forever!

Re: Brake rotor and pads time not sure what to get
Okay so I get new rotors and pads, started to changed them out and I can not get the bolts lose to remove the Brake calipers on the front and on the back looks like you need a hex style key to remove two of the bolts and same thing with the 18mm bolts on the back. I dont have a air wrench and not enough A** to wrench them off with my hands. any tips

Re: Brake rotor and pads time not sure what to get
i had to use a 1/2" breaker bar with a 2' pipe extension totaling about 3' of leverage. it was crazy how tight those 2 bolts are.

My original rear pads have finally worn out at 203,000 miles! Guess I'm not a heavy braker. |
