evening all
did my 5/8000k 5 wheel rotation today and was having a check of the brake pads while doing the wheel change i reckon with my careful ???? driving i still have another 15/20000 ks in the pads the discs themselves have very little wear on them (no great lip at the top where the pads grip)and no grooves in them i reckon i will get 115000-120000 out of the pads seems pretty good

hi GOB
You do not have ABS or all wheel drive ETC where the rear wheel disc brakes wear faster than the front pads wear

Steve,
Not trying to brag but I got 208000km out of my rear pads and am still going on my front ones ( 230000km) and apparently this is not unusual.
Cheers Trevor.
