wow wierd... most of us deal with the rear brake dust issue but i have never heard of pads having premature wear... are your rotors ok? they could possibly be warped or damaged causing the extreme wear... i have almost 40,000 miles on my car and last i looked the rear pads wear fine lots of meat left... do you have the option to take it to the dealer cuase i would even if its not fully covered i would think they would look into it for you...
just noticed its your first post....

I have spoken with the dealership. The service manager gave me some ~ bs ~ line about the stock rear pads being a much softer compound to reduce brakes squeal. He added that they have seen cars see as little as 30,000 km needing new pads.
I think it's unacceptable - but you won't get anywhere arguing.
In addition to wanting to mod the brake bias - i am looking to put cross-drilled or slotted rotors on all 4 corners: any suggestions for quality rotors? [i need to be able to get the shipped tp the great white north aka: canada]
Thanks for the welcome!
You'll be seeing lots of me on this site - i'll be posting pics as soon as the suspension is dropped and the snows are off.
cheers

Here's how I see it.
Look @ your owner's manual. See what the recommended mileage to change them is. If it is somewhat close then it's just wear-n-tear.
If not then pressure them into replacing them under warranty. Do so in a professional, intelligent manner. Don't just go demanding stuff right and left.

Talk to ken at protegegarage about a brake package, he just made me a great deal on rotors, pads, and the lines.
e-brake
HAHAHAH - just noticed that question..
I was wondering what that annoying red light in the cluster was!!
JKS.
NEVER driven with the e-brake on.
It looks like the stock pads were just s***.
The OEM replacement are at 70% life after a little more than the 50,000km the originals blew up at.
