Life of stock pads?
How long are you guys getting out of the front stock pads? It's my DD and I go less than 400 miles/month. It has a few very spirited canyon runs on the pads (4-5?).
I'm at 13060 miles as of today, and my front pads are starting to squeal EVER so slightly.
Is this normal wear? On my old s2000, as soon as I got it I replaced the pads with Endless street compound 'cause the ones on it when I got it sucked.
TIA

Aaron, check them to be sure but they should be fine at that mileage.
I'll check them. A bit weird. But also, on one of the canyon runs was in Calaveras at 55+. My brakes were cooked after that (literally smoking like crazy). Would that severely deminish the life that much?
I'll check them when I get home. I'm too busy wasting Will's gas in the NEW TOY he just got.
