Brakes: how long should they last? on a 2.4L
Just as the title states.. My brakes are begins to sqweal or however u spell it.. I've got 25,000k on the car.. Any info would help, thanks
if you abuse or do a lot of hard breaking or even if u dont down shift often, they will not last as long, i have 32000 on my sc breaks and do a lot of hard breaking but i also down shift a lot so it all depends on your driving
I dont know about you guys, but once I stuck 18" wheels on my 2.2L, it started to cause havoc on my braking. It's NOWHERE near as good, which I guess is expected. Maybe it has something to do with your rims?
I'm still stock wheels myself and I do coast as much as possible or downshift it all started after winter and not to mention I work ata car wash so teh car is washed once a week so who knows..

Mine suck ***** 
20,000mi on the car and the rears squeak when I go in reverse if they are wet or its cold out. I occasionally get squeaking when I am coming to a stop.

Mine squeak in the morning or after they have been sitting for an extended period...its just the condensation on them coming off...no biggie. Our wheels are so open that moisture gets right to them.
37,000 miles on a car that does road racing and auto-x. Pads were shot, rotors were grooved. Went with a stock rotor and Hawk HPS pad combination. 20k miles on this set and the rotors are pristine with barely noticeable wear. The problem with the stock stuff lies in the pads, not the rotors. Pads were replaced a while ago because they were defective, but wear wise, this set should last a good 45,000 miles.
