If you've replaced your brakes with "aftermarkets", CHECK ON 'EM! I replaced my rear pads with EBC last season and just out of "curiosity", I checked on them to find there was nothing left! I don't think I got but a couple thousand miles on them. The "originals" were way better, so I put them back on while waiting for a different brand to come in. Actually, the "originals" didn't NEED to be replaced in the FIRST PLACE! Just did it, but the EBC's didn't last for nothing!
Just to let you know! :hammer:

Yup, I recently ran a set of rear EBC's down to virtually nothing in 8K miles.

Yeah my rears only last about 8000 miles too. This last set of front brakes have been on for about 13000 miles already. They are nearing completion though.
