About 11,000 miles ago, I got new OEM rotors/pads installed... Strange for a rear to wear before the front, but I suspect a sticky caliper.
What are the symptoms for sticky calipers?
Thank you for everyone who has posted so far, and who will post in the future in this thread.
What I am learning is either:
1) there is a problem with my brakes
2) I drive (brake) more aggressively than the average driver (particularly commuters)
3) BOTH!
I guess people who know my driving style and know what my version of a commute (to La Honda) looks like. Something tells me that Page Mill, Alpine, Pescadero, and 84 could possibly wear down some pads faster than the average Joe. Not to mention, the pace involved...
I do know when my mom used to own the S, she lasted probably 40k or more on the pads, and my dad's 2007 civic Si is still on OEM pads with mileage high, but unknown ATM.
