hey guys how long did it take for you to have to replace the brake pads? im at about 10K and im hearing squeaking sounds. I know its not brake dust bc i cleaned the hell out of my wheels.

 

the front oem pads will last between 10K and 15K depends on the driver and road conditions. i changed mine at 16K and they were still good for another 3K but they squeaked during stops.

 

the stock pads have mad squeaking. i replaced mine with hawks and barely have any squeaking. but the stopping doesn't feel the same as stock. less bite.

 

Wow that's it? I have 22k on my Z and have even yet to hear any squeaks from my pads. Guess mostly freeway driving helps

 

I was hearing squeaks during my first week with my car. Everything goes to sh*t when your perfectly good brakes squeal in public. Might as well be in a beater car. Im on my way now to the brake section of this board.

 

i burnt mine within 2000 miles...
so... eh~
it all depends on how you drive
if you were to replace brake pads, check out nismo R-Tune pads...
very good none squeek pads, you can get f/r for about 240 bucks... (kind of steep) but they are definately good pads.
the only noise i got is from my rotors..

 

Mr. Pee is correct...it all depends on how you drive. Wear rates are all over the board, and can't be attributed to any single reason. Number of stops, length of stop, starting and ending speeds on stops, distance between stops, ambient air temps...they all play a role.

We find that many noise issues people have are related to not having the pads bed-in properly. Check out this article on our site:http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp...contents.shtml
