Yup, its a sports car and if you drive it hard its gonna wear down. Personally I'd replace them myself, there's a thread in one of the sections that shows how, and decent break pads (Hawks) only cost in the 70 dollar range.

I had mine replaced after 4800 miles, new pads & new rotors. Nissan did replace for free.
The only hard driving I did was 10 laps at button will race track, proves the pads are weak for hard driving.

do it yourself... brake change on the 350z is one of the easiest I've ever had to do...

I got the front replaced at 12k miles. I ordered Hawks online and got it installed. Cost me $150 for everything. Oem pads suck. Much less dust with these Hawks.
