Excellent Brake and Rotor life
I'm at 127k miles and just did my front brakes and rotors. First time replacing the Rotors and third set of brake pads. I last replaced the pads at 75k miles with Mintex pads I bought on eBay for $40. Got 52k miles on them, not bad. At that time my mechanic said my Rotors (still original) were fine. Brakes still felt fine but the Brake Wear light came on this week.
Bought Brembo Rotors and Akebomo Premium pads on ebay for $202 shipped. I let my mechanic do the job because I figured the 11 yr old rotors would be a PIA to remove. He confirmed that they were. Charged me $120 for the job.
I did the rear pads for the second time last year. Still the original rotors.
Very pleased with the brakes on this car!
