After 24,000 3/4 of the pads were gone and rotors couldn't be turned again, 'nuff said.
Anyone else this hard on their brakes, or do the stock pads just suck? I know the rotors suck.
-Eric<br />2002 Navy Blue Camaro...Striped and Stalled. 35th Anniversary SS wheels <br />Best ET: 15.384 @ 88.32 on street tires<br />Project Whitney: Goal, 14.0 1/4 by summer 2008.
I am on my third set of front rotors, and they need to be turned again badly. Its possible that they are too far gone already, too. I'm also on my fourth set of front pads. I'm at 92,000. My last set of front rotors only lasted 24,000 miles. My rotors usually only last like 6,000 miles before they start to warp and shake the car upon braking.
I'm probably going to change my rotors again in the summer, and this time I'm going to get some good ones.
All gone :(<br />Best ET ever: 14.3 (I think)<br />----------------------------<br />Check out my site for exhaust clips, burnouts, and pictures, and the supercharger throttle body mod.<br /><a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/net_addict/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click on the Firebird</a>

my work car gets abused a LOT more than what you do and proportionally, i don't go through brakes that fast. it has 16,000 miles and is about to get it's second set of pads. they started grinding yesterday.
get ceramic pads to eliminate the brake dust. also, if you get your brakes hot, don't hold the pedal down long. it will warp your rotors.

Really? Is there any proof that the water hurts the rotors in any way while they are extremely hot?

I'm still on my stock rotors with 120,000 miles on them. Still looking good.
