When did y'all change out pads? Brake fluid?
I'm at 40k and brake performance is getting a little annoying. Dealer recommended brake fluid swap. All I can tell is the fluid is much darker, and my pedal travels further. Dealer also told me my pads were in the 4-6 range - yellow on the scale. I can clearly see through the wheels my back pads are more worn than the front. I feel like I can get another 20k from that fronts.
I'm swapping fluid and rear pads soon. Would like to get a set that lasts a lot longer. I plan on getting a couple quotes and hopefully finding a longer lasting pad...
Any recs for longer lasting pads?
My car is driven short and hard in the city, so I understand my brakes will wear faster than a highway commuter, but 40k seems way too early.
I did love the performance of the brakes, just like I loved the performance of the Toyo a23's that came on the car. However, I feel like OEM tires and brakes have worn far too quick, so id like to replace them with more durable options, even if it makes the ride feel less sporty.
