ok, brake info....MANY owners find the OEM brake pads last upwards of 80,000+ miles..yes 80,000. They are a very long lasting material.
One odd finding...some owners have the original REAR pads wear out prior to the FRONTS....which is kinda illogical. My OEM pads are wearing in the "normal" manner...fronts are at 30% remaining, rears 50%.
The OEM pads are expensive, but many feel they're worth it since they last so long.
Several owners who've installed the stainless steel brake lines say the brakes feel more responsive. I just installed them about 2 months ago, and I also think braking is a bit better.....and I'm schleppin' a lot of extra weight too.
