Is it possible to check the remaining font brake pad life by pulling the wheels off or do you have to disassemble more? What exactly would I be measuring? I have almost 57k miles and was wondering how close I'm getting.

 

if i remember correctly you have to use a micrometer. just pull the wheels and measure if you have one or take it in.

 

do you meant eh pads or the rotors? the rotors need a micrometer to find out if it's within it's limit, but with the pads you can pretty much visually inspect them. I fyou have no experience with looking at pads and they are completely bare, you might not notice. When I changed my pads/rotors earlier this year my stock ones were completely gone and I was a noob so I had no idea how they were supposed to look, but when I got the new ones I was curprised at how much was gone.

the pads should be like a metal plate about 1.25 cm thick, with teh actual pad toughing the rotor and the pad should be at least .5cm thick.

 

Yeah I meant pads, not rotors. I know my rotors are warped to hell and I plan on having them replaced instead of machined at my 60k service since they've been warped for a while. I'm just hoping the pads hold out another 3k miles. How long is everyone getting out of their front pads?

 

 

Wat Area Are You From ? if close i might resurface ur rotor for free~if ur down to drive down to 909 area
