I thought they at least should have shown wear. I did notice a little bit of grazing on the rotor from the metal. So I reckon these pads are too Hard and have probably glazed?
Nope!! I had the same fitted in 2002-03 with new rotors all round and mine are the same! Good pads but can be hard on the discs though depending on what brand you have (ie good quality or cheap alternatives).
The only thing that wore out was the anti squeal backing, and do you think I can find it anywhere available as a sheet???
