Honda Civic Brake Pads

Postby Inferno888 » Mon Jul 19 2010, 15:44

So my wife's civic has just gone in for it's second annual service, with only 22 000km on the clock, she drives like a granny, but they say the pads are nearly done, is this possible?? 22 000km? Granny driver?

I drive an MPS and drive the SH.... out of my car and they lasted way more...

Hey buddy

Is it a hatch or sedan? Auto or manual?

Manual hatch.

I'll pull the wheels off and check myself.

OEM pads are asbestos-free and as a result they are much softer and thus sdon't last as long...
