Mine died on 1/1/05. I bought my car on 11/11/03 and it's 04'model.
Anyways, I got about 22,000 miles from the stock brake.
It's non-bremo. Do you guys think it's reasonable mileage for our brake?
Or did I do something wrong to my car..?
How many mileage you guys get from the stock brake?

 

I had my front rotors and pads replaced, and my rear rotors resurfaced and new pads installed at 19,500 miles.......
I think you should expect to replace them again before the 36,000 mile warranty expires.....

Depending on peoples' driving habits, they are sometimes replaced alot sooner.....

 

Mine were replaced under warranty ay 18,000 miles.

 

Do the brembo brakes require a special brake pad? Can it be replaced at a Midas?

 

How long do the Brembos last?

 

You don't take a car of this caliber to Midas.

 

How about getting a new paint job at Maaco. I saw a commercial for a special they're running right now, around $200 for a paint job

 

i replaced my front Brembo pads at 24k & rears at 26k. doing alot of highway driving now, & have 45k on the G & it still looks like i have 50% left on the front. will put on Hawks myself next time.

 

I replaced my Brake pads @ 24,000 miles Front and Rear (Brembo's)

 

I've read that there are some people who like and dislike Hawks. Do they produce a lot of brake dust?

 

I just had my front rotors and pads replaced under warranty at 12,500 mi. I was in just to put on my winter setup and asked them to checkout the brakes. Scary! My 04 G automatic is just over a year old and I do primarily city driving.

This is my first post. I live in Mississauga, Ontario Canada.

 

my brakes were gone at 15,000k *brembos* looking for big brake kit now....

 

MIDAS?
Holy cow, why not just take the car to Jiffy Lube for an oil change and to a gas station for a car wash!!

 

That's not bad wear for our G's soft but effective brake pads.
Mine are about half gone, and I've got about 13k miles now. I don't drive aggressively.

 

Blitz and others with covered pad and rotor wear- does the new car warranty cover brakes? i thought that is a "wear item".
