New rear pads '03 w/ Brembos

I know it's been mentioned before, but I thought it worth repeating. Check the INSIDE rear pads for wear if you have the Brembo brakes and you are pushing 30k miles. I noticed the inside pads were low when I had the wheels off a couple of weeks ago. Replaced the pads yesterday, and one was almost down to the backing plate. The outside pads had a lot of material left on them, and I would not have paid much attention to the inner pads if I hadn't seen someone else's warning in this forum. Thanks!

^ werd. I waited too long and my inside pads were eating my rotors already and the outsides still looked beefy. Had to get new rotors for the rear, cuz my pads took like a month to get here

Thanks. I am at 20K mi and that’s exactly what I am afraid of, so until B-Force pads arrive (hopefully this month) I ordered $25 Satisfied Pro Perf. pads from tirerack.

Hmm, thanks for the heads up. I'll be checking them pretty soon so I'll make sure to check the insides as well
