does anyone know the average lifespan on non-Brembo brakes? i have a 2006 6MT coupe, and the driver's passenger side is making a soft scratching/screeching sound when i apply the brakes. i have 13000 on the odometer. i have recently popped on a 25mm spacer in the rear, but i do not have any rubbing issues.


how long have you had your brakes without changing the brakes?

the dumba$$ service rep told me that brakes on this car last 10k-15k miles. is this BS or what??

 

My front pads and rotors went at about 19k, so this dood is not too far off

 

Have the 05' sedan. Got 41K and they'er gettin' close.

 

i also expected the brakes to last 40k+. i dont even abuse my brakes, and i hope that the dealership will cover it.

 

Applications per mile and duration of applications and foot pressure on pedal.

Obviously a lot of difference with all interstate vs all city or ratios of combos of each.

Need a totalizer connected to brake lights to just calculate how many hours [minutes and seconds] are used in some mileage interval.

 

my first non-brembo OEM went out at 30K (pads and rotor), replaced it with PMU B-force and now at 46K, it looks to be 1/2 worn, estimating another 16K left.

The rears are still on the first set.

 

I have an 05 coupe with 25k miles. At my last service they said I had just under 50% life left on my pads. Hopefully I will get 45k out of them. I think alot of it depends on your driving habits. I mostly do highway miles so there usually isn't to much braking involved.

My non-brembo's needed to be replaced 3 times. I have about 36,000 miles on my car right now. Changing to the OEM Brembo setup soon with aftermarket pads and rotors.

Please tell me I am an aggressive driver.

 

24k on stock pads and about 55% life left on the pads. I drive a lot of city and aggressive at times.

 

Take you car to the dealership and have it checked out.......better safe
than well you know. I have a '04 and my front pads only lasted 10K miles.
Those pads were splintering brake pad crud on my wheels and I knew I
had a problem. Have since switched to Hawk pads and I couldn't be
more pleased with the results!

 

I've changed my brake pads 3 times in 3 years when I had the non-brembo setup on my 2003 5AT coupe. The 2003 5AT G35's had premature brake wear issues which is why they had a 3 year/36000 mile unlimited brake service. The pads would create so much brake dust I had to upgrade. The new brake pads in the later models aren't much better. That's why I swiched to the Brembo calipers and Hawk pads.

 

my stock non-brembos lasted 30k in the front, the rears looked like like they could go another 30k.

 

Are you using hawk pads with OEM rotors?

 

i have an 04, and i need to make another trip to a dealer for squealing brakes at 25k. when my warranty is over, i'm getting Hawk brake pads also. i had them on my previous car, and they lasted a long time with minimal brake dust.

 

umm i have 25k miles on my brake pads and it starts to squeel sometimes so i have to change them soon......but i also did abuse my brake pads a lot from having to brake really hard when slow cars come out and just go extra slow in front of you and from peeling out my tires....lol
