Walang squeal yun. Dapat check mo yun regularly.

I worn out a set of kevlar brake pads in 8000km. Metallic pads in 7000km.

Currently I'm doing an average of 8,000 to 10,000km per set of metallic brake pads.

i think u can visually check the pads just by looking at rims dba, ul see it if u know wat to look 4.

not really. I have to take out the pads to check how thick the pads are.

i was all ready to replace the front pads on my car (97 VTi) which has 65Tkm on the clock. but when i checked the original pads that came with the car when it was bought 6 years ago, the pads were still thick! at least 4mm thick pa!

it really depends on your driving style and habit. style ko kasi, takbong-mayaman e

On matic, after 12-14 months, kailangan nang magpalit. Tested and observed this on RAV4, Galant SS and Lancer...

wow! replacing pads after 8th kms is fast. you must drive hard!

when having pm done to your car, it can't hurt to have the mechanic check and clean your brakes

Medyo mahihirapan ka yata sa balak mong gawin, Ken. Dapat tanggal ang mags bago masisilip sa caliper kung gano kakapal pa ang natitirang pads. Kung drums naman ganun din, kailangan tanggalin ang goma muna bago ang drums.
