Ok perfect, will be in touch.

Gettin real close to the end
Slow commuter

 

I'm still on orginal OEM pads/rotors since the car was brand new...48K miles and counting

 

Hey ya'll thanks for posting up. Are your numbers including just daily driving, or track days, and lots/litte mountain twisties? I know its subjective, but just wondering what kind of abuse you put your pads through.

 

I think i got over 30k on my first set of oem pads with daily driving and they weren't even half gone.

 

ive had my stoptech pads for about... 50k with hwy 9 and DD for about 2 years. not bad at all lol.

 

over 60k, i'm the one and only. guess i'm not so aggressive and light on the brakes. i do coast to stops when possible. oh and my wife helps by saying "SLOW DOWN", yeah shes fun to have on-board.

 

I think it's interesting that your rears wore down in 11k, aggressive mountain driving or otherwise, whereas everyone else is wearing out well past 50-60k miles, if at all.

What are the symptoms for sticky calipers?

 

MY00 has 58K and my brakes are original and have never needed service. MY00 is a weekend car and I don't drivehard.

 

I wasn't aware of a sticky caliper issue on s2000s until it appeared to be happening to me. My friend told me about it, so I started searching on the forums. The general symptom is obvious, that the sticky caliper wears the pad down at an accelerated rate, noticeable once the wear indicator begins wearing a hole in your ear drum. As well, you can touch the wheel of the affected brake, and feel a noticeably warmer wheel due to the friction caused.

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.
