Brake Pad Life??? 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Just want to know what everyone is getting out of their brake pads. Here in Sunny Cali. I got 16,000 miles out of the Rear pads and 25,000 out of the front. Probely could have gone 30,000 on the front. Those were the stock Yami pads (sumoto). Since I changed them out to EBC pads I have 18,000 on the rear and have about 1/8 inch of pad left. 9,000 0n the front and barly wearing. Well guys I picked a perfect week for vacation. Gonna be in the high 70's for the next 6 days. RIDE RIDE RIDE. Take care and God Bless. Brother OSO

Brake and tire ware is totally dependant on the drivers technique. Quick starts and sudden stops = short life; gental starts and gental stops = long life.

TWEEEET!!!

15 yards for piling on! Dude, you already live in So Cal......you don't HAVE to rub it in our faces!



Sorry, TOPNOTCH.....I'm a little sensitive about the subject of weather. I spent the last day of my vacation here in the great northeast - where it never got above 42 degrees all week and felt MUCH colder - organizing tools, cleaning the house, and commiserating with blackroadie over his Easter gift of 6" of fresh Illinois snow. Anyway.......sorry........didn't mean to bring you down, too. You've got your own troubles I'm sure. You know, like should you wear SPF 15 or 30 today? Stay strong, my brotha! It'll get better.
