Nice one jigga. So, how do you do it? All freeway driving? Engine braking?


btw, my rear brake pads grew between service appointments. They were reported as 3mm middle of last year and then 4mm late last year.

i guess i do a fair bit of engine braking but nothing crazy, most of my driving is either highway or in rural areas. i dont go into the city much...

did u do the 60,000 miles service? i was curious how much that will cost. i'm just about at 59,000 miles.

In DC Region it is around 400/-

I scheduled mine for tomorrow..

Mokos23

mars

Actually i paid 375/- for my 60,000 Service..

and the front brake pads are still good..Only 50% worn out..!!!

dang i wish i was in DC region, i got quoted for 475 and 494 at the Acura dealers in Chicagoland for the 60K sucks! i printed out some coupons though and hope for a discount.

Mokos23

well, i guess the 60K is expensive at every Acura dealer around chicagoland.

I consider myself hard on brakes and at 30,000 miles, my tech said I still had 90% left! I was in shock when I heard that.

I have plans to tear down the car this weekend while on the lift and check for myself, now that I'm at 36k.

Well then there you go, there is your answer. I want to say I'm already past 50% and I have 32,000K miles. I could be wrong but it seems like I remember the service tech mentioning that they were going to continue monitoring my brakes because they seemed to be getting low. I'll see what happens. :shrugs:
