2003 Protege is due for it’s 3rd complete set of brakes. Granted, she doesn’t wash her car so it’s not surprising but still. Averaging 12k between brake changes? :bloated: She bought the car new and last spring was the only time it has passed inspection without needing at least 1 axle’s worth of brakes.
Once again the disks are all chewed up so time for new pads and rotors all the way around.
I’m doing it myself this time so I can make sure the sliders get polished to a shine and then greased properly. Neverminding the lack of durability, her car has always stopped well and I want to maintain that so I don’t catch hell, if nothing else. Is there any reason to not use the cheapest rotors that Advance Auto sells?
What about pads? Recommendations for a cheap pad for a girl to go A->B without hugely sacrificing performance or dusting?
bendix brake pads…i’m not sure about their current warranty policies, but when i purchased my pads for my integra, they were lifetime warranty. havnt paid for pads in the past 4 years. If shes chewing them up that fast, i’d see if it is still like that.
seriously…i’m in advanced auto for no more than 5 minutes and i’m out with a new set of pads. i’m not sure though if they are still going lifetime. worth a shot imo. goodluck
There are still lifetime pads available. I also have lifetime on mine. Also don’t buy valucraft! Total junk. I have bought 2 sets of rotors from them that were not flat, and 1 out of round set of drums. Their quality control sucks @ss.
