How long do the OEM pads usually last?

that question is akin to asking 'how long will my car last' or 'when will i be hungry again'


too much things like city/hwy, driver style, etc.


to guess I would say 30-40K .

pretty sure the OEM pads have the noise makers to let you know when things are critical. or a quick pull of the wheel and pad inspection would be definitive.
and on the 12 the oem pads are ceramic.

iCrap

true, but there should still be an average.
I know about the noisemaker already, yea.
I'll just have a look next time the wheels are off.

Akebono "Oem" pads are shit... They don't last for shit and braking power is average to good.. If you want more bite and longer life get some hawk pads or ebc pads that fit your driving habits.. Since you "hoon" the fuck out of her I suggest a more aggressive pad than factory, with that though u may get an occasional squeak for only a min when the brakes are cool

yeah i have the hawk ceramic with the rotors on my wagon. they only have about 8K miles but I like them hardly any dust.

on my cherokee I run the hawk HPS on the front discs. Very low dust but good bite, and rotor friendly.

My rear pads only lasted about 30k. 37k on the clock now, fronts still have some life left.

Audi won the 24 hours of Le Mans again, for the 13th time. Was hoping Porsche would make a comeback and win this year.

Ask him if he wants to trade, for your house.

iCrap

some dude in my friends neighborhood has a silver one. He drives around shooting flames everywhere.

VR1

Double post

VR1

LOL! He also has a Murcielago, F430 Scuderia, Gallardo Bicolore, M5 and I think a GTR. He owns a body shop.

rawger

Holy shit. This guy is straight balling. What a lucky guy.

All you have to do is get in an "accident" with one of his sports car and sue him for the rest!

rawger

^EDIT: And then use his body shop to fix the one that was in the accident and take that one too!

xtcnrice

^LOL of course all that ain't enough

musty hustla

There's probably a homophobic joke to be made here.

It's been 7 months and I still can't get that stupid plastic piece below the door on the passenger side to pop in correctly

iCrap

Did you take it off before? I took mine off to run some wire but it went back on really easy..

send megan an email. they were supposed to come up with a catback but maybe decided to just do mufflers instead. in the perf area there was a tsx on a lift getting fitted i bet more than 1 year ago.

And TSXkid is alive!

tsxkid!? I thought for sure he was dead.

rawger

Have any of you went to Acura for any of the TSBs? I have a few of them and am wondering how cool they are about doing them if I still have warranty.

I have the clicking when turning the steering wheel, but only in the morning on a cold start. After one or two turns it doesn't come back. I think they're going to want to replicate the problem, but it's really impossible unless I leave them the car overnight and they check it then.

I went in for the windshield trim breaking off. They were happy to fix it and drove me home while they worked.

robpp

iTrader: (2)

drop it off during the night before so it will be cold when they get it.

clicking could be clockspring which is expensive part.

if you have warranty tsb should be free IF they agree its needed.

if you show up with everyone that MIGHT be applicable yet you have no sign or symptoms.....then it COULD become a different story/

all depends on dealer when you dont show a need for it.

rawger

I have this also...Lol. Did they just reglue it or was it a new trim piece.

Yeah I've seen threads where people said the quote was like 800-1,000 to fix the clicking wheel problem without warranty. I only have it for 3 months max I believe so I want those TSBs fixed asap. Dropping it off isn't an issue, it's probably the most tricky one I have, the others are obvious, so ill see what they say.

opboarding

I am pretty sure they just re glued it. I don't know why I didn't ask them after it was done. If I remember correctly it was still dirty and didn't look new.

ssjoeboe9

They in fact do replace the whole trim piece because a new clip design was made that wouldn't break in the same manner as the old one.

opboarding

Weird. Seemed like they didn't but I have no idea.
