About how long do the brembo's last?

Lately I have noticed I need more pedal travel to engage the brakes.

My car has about 9000 miles on it now, and I drive it relatively hard. Probably pushing it to the equivalent of an auto X event on empty back roads. It also sees a fair share of stop and go Boston traffic as well.

If anyone is in a similar situation, what's the status of your breaks?

Thanks

Check your pads' thickness.

are the making noise? what makes you think they need to be change?

 

les schwab will inspect them for free lol

 

wasnt there a huge class action concerning the brembo brake's life expectancy, that they gave out WAY too soon, and there were replacements given out

 

If that's true /\/\/\/\/\ then it makes a lot of sense. My brakes, too, have been feeling not like they did when they were brand new. I've got ~9500 miles on my car now, and it seems like I gotta apply a little more brake. If anyone has anymore info on this, that would be sweet.

 

They make a squeeking noise when breaking at very low speeds, which has been happening since almost day 1. I think this is a common random issue, maybe break dust or something.

I have also been driving a bunch of different cars which all have different break pressure, which could very well be the problem .

I guess my real question is: How long will the breaks last doing a 60-0 stop nearly every day?

There is one road by my house which is phenominal. After the twistys there is a sharp turn which I take, so I apply the breaks hard before reaching the turn.

That road makes the car worth every penny
