They are also heavier and more powerful than previous models,and have better brakes which means softer discs and pads.
This all adds up to more wear on rotors and pads.
Had the front pads and sensor done today. Declined to do the front rotors as they were still above min thickness. Will see how that pans out.
The dust/sand/grit gets thrown up from the front wheels and contaminates the rear disks & pads. So, as soon as you apply the brakes, this sand/grit significantly increases the wear on the pads.Quote:
