ive been meaning to pose this question for my dad, but have been busy.
car is an 07 9-3 aero
One day he called me and said his rear brakes were making horrible noises, but the pad looked like it was very low, although useable (he could only see the outside obviously). This was in the middle of the week, he commutes 120 miles a day, and can't work on the car until weekends, so when he got in their on saturday he noticed that the inner pad was toasted down to the metal.
Mind you, this car has just turned about 20ish thousand miles i believe, we have had it since something in the 5-10k range...so WTF 15k on brake pads?
so he ordered some factory pads and was luckily able to get the wonderful autozone tool to reset the caliper. i went home last weekend and was helping him put on his winter tires, he lookes at the pads and said they look to already be 1/4 (atleast) gone. this has been 1-2k miles since the change.
what in the world could be going on? neither of us have seen pads go away this fast, especially rears...
