How long do stock brake pads last?
On a 5.0?
What is the mileage before they need to be replaced? Thanks all. Brad

A lot depends on where and how you drive... there is no time or mileage
constraint. For bonded pads, I would replace them when the lining material is down to 3mm above the backing. For rivetted pads, 3mm above the tops of the rivet heads. Similarly, pads with loose, chunked or cracked lining material should be replaced no matter what the thickness remaining is.

Cheaper than my Power Slots. I like to have them changed every year at inspection time, since they're checking the brakes anyway. At least every other year... I agree with your 3mm minimum, but I'd hate to see them get that low. With the stock setup, the bigger problem was the rotors, which warped far too easily. dwight > "BradandBrooks" > wrote in message > news jfQe.324011$s54.138761@pd7tw2no...> On a 5.0? > > What is the mileage before they need to be replaced? > > Thanks all. > > Brad > >

The Power Slots are the best thing I've put on the LX with regards to braking. Not a shread of warping since I put them on 6 years ago. > I agree with your 3mm minimum, but I'd hate to see them get that > low. > > With the stock setup, the bigger problem was the rotors, which > warped far too easily. > > dwight > >> "BradandBrooks" > wrote in message >> news jfQe.324011$s54.138761@pd7tw2no...>> On a 5.0? >> >> What is the mileage before they need to be replaced? >> >> Thanks all. >> >> Brad >> >> > >
