I just hit the wear indicators at 33K/39 months, no coverage... I knew it was coming and I also knew that my rotors were < 21mm now (got pads/turned for free at 15K) and couldnt be turned again. So I didnt care if one got gouged. But now I'm scrambling for parts.

I really didnt want OEM rotors and pads again. I have brake dust inside my car! You gotta make sure you get quality and consistancy in the rotor material. Of course OEM is ok, but seems too soft.

In short, I'm going to direct replacement DBA 4000 rotors and Endless Vita Nuova pads. Should be here Friday and still cost alot less than letting the dealer do it.

I'm remodeling my house right now and need every penny, otherwise I would have gone with a BBK. Since my brakes last 18months... and the dealer wants $300-500 a pop, why not spend $1500 on brakes that will require less mx, cost less to maintain AND in the 3 years it would take to break even, you've had bad **** brakes the whole time.
