I've got 25,000 miles and my brakes are a joke at this point. I want to take the car in for it's 30,000 mile service. Will warranty cover this? Is this just a case of changing out the pads?
Also are aftermarket brake pads worth it? |
Brake pads are generally not covered by a 3/36k warranty.
Aftermarket pads I cat answer that. Im ordering Hawk HPS Performance pads, stainless lines, and performance brake fluid next week, only because I plan on running a road coarse all day in HOT June. so until then, no comment on the later. |
I'm thinking of putting some Hawk pads on my car too. I just had the car in at the dealer, had the rotors machined under warranty due to a vibration. They did not change the pads though, pads are not covered after the first 1 year/12k miles.

i am installing my hawk pads and powerslot slotted rotors tonight..
let u know how they are, even though your supposed to brake them in for a hundred miles or so they look really really pretty =) cost me 550 for them -mike |
the brakes are awsome
just ordered my Hooker long tubes tonight so there about to get put to the test! -mike |
at 25,000 miles toss the pads and rotors and go aftermarket!!
my stock pads lasted 5 laps at the track (the car had 1800 miles on it) the stock stuff is wimpy, and when your replacing the rotors take the backing plates off jay |
I'm picking up Hawk performance pads on Monday. How much are the rotors?

130 a rotor is hard to bite for me. |
by taking off the backing plates you get more air to the rotors so the brakes will run cooler.
granted i never plan on going off road with my car, so i dont have to worry about cloggin the brakes with mud and dirt so i took off the b-p's jay |
Thats kinda what I figured.

How hard are the back plates to come off??
