Just wondering if the 7th gen owners are having frequent rear pad changes like the many many 8th owners have reported. I'm on 2nd set now...04 V6. Did they make changes to the EBD system on the 8th gens?

Have not had to do anything to my brakes yet, front or rear, and I am @ 42k!

I have an 03 EX V6. I changed the rear pads at 50k miles, and the front at 60k miles. This was the first car I've had where the rears wore down before the front. The 8th gen is a bigger car, so maybe that's why the pads are wearing even quicker on them.

How are those Brembos and Akebono pads working out for you?

Anyone know if they made the rotors smaller on the 8th gen rears? I'm impressed with the brembo/akebono setup so far. Much better then OEM before the swap...and NO DUST!!! Occasionally i hear my rears squeek a little bit, but thats expected now so i'm used to it.

Same here (70,000 odometer) for this sailor.

best, ez....

I think my brakes have only been done once on my '03 V6 Coupe and I am at 60K. I think it primarily has to do with driving style. If you are a lead foot, you are going to wear the brakes down faster.

My '06 EX-L's rear pads were replaced at 44k miles. My front pads were replaced around 60k.
