Brakes

[REKCUT]

Closing in on 80k and the wife has been complaining about the brake travel. Figured they were due so I bought new pads. Got the old ones off, ( they are exactly like the other Toyota's I own) and couldnt believe that they had in my estimation, worn a little more than 50%. 4 years of city driving, you would think done more damage than this.

I'm still on my first set @65k...

Just changed my front pads only, at 67K miles w/ 3 mm left on them

Changed out mine for the first time at 92,000 miles and they were still usable. Rears were worn more than the fronts, which I thought was interesting since common wisdom and Newtonian physics says that the front brakes should do most of the work.

I've got 72k on my FJC and are on the original pads. I've got a new OEM set waiting to go on when I get a chance.

First set of front pads were replaced @ around 50K. Had the front disks turned at the same time. Now at 105K 3mm left on all four corners. Not bad considering Atlanta traffic and all the extra mod weight.

I would like just a little bit more from my stock brakes. Granted, I'm still comparing them to the feel and capability of my modified GTI's brakes (which is completely unfair, I know). But after I nearly got taken out by an over-eager jackass pulling a boat a couple weeks ago I've been thinking about a pad upgrade for a little more bite at speed.
