Well the topic says it all. 2 1/2 years ago I changed all four discs (plain brembos) + pads and
the guy at the garage now tells me my pads are going away and that i should change the discs too (some have been threaded). I havent done much mileage since 2 years - mostly city driving and I usually drive smooth on the car. Do you believe its normal wear? or maybe cheap parts or bad installation or the garage trying to rip me off? Also, whats the best place to buy the brakes ? (I know nopionline.com sells the brembos cheap) Thanks |

Thanks alot for all the infos! Problem is, where I live (Montreal) the winters are very tough on cars - extremes colds, salt, snow, ice, rain, etc. The rotors are exposed to all this and considering that replacement parts (non dealer) are not as good as the originals that might explain the short life of these. I noticed threads on the front discs which indicates a problem cuz my pads are 40% left. Its the PBR MetalMaster pads - i heard they last long but they are hard on the discs... Anyways I bought 4 brembo replacement discs along with oem pads at NOPI for 130$ which is a bargain. Cheaper than have the discs resurfaced... I already had a stuck caliper on the rear so I might have them check this too...
