You think your breaks are bad? Mine only last 15 minutes.

He can sell you that, or you can tell him to check your sliders and make sure they're not binding and are heavily lubricated. Just sayin.....

Also, the lack of a debris shield back there causes things to get caught between the rotor and the pad, resulting in scoring of the surface. That's the real issue.

Performance brakes also wear faster, not that fast, but faster.
