I guess it's also possible that the manufacturer(s) may have crappy QC and wind up with varying densities in different pads. Regardless, it's good to check the stock set to be sure.

Dam. I have been having front brake issues in the past few weeks, and I think that is the problem. Well, off to the tech section I go...

Our riding is hilly stop-start urban commuting, probably the toughest on brakes. My wife's set was totally gone at 3K and I'm replacing mine now at 2.2K as the wear indicator has just been reached. Pretty poor life IMHO.

Just flipped over 3K on my 02, checked pads and I am glad I did. Pads were almost gone. Replaced them with EBC ceramics, did a series of progressive stops from 20 mph, 30, 40, 50, and finally 60 mph to seat them. They seemed to seat well and no squeek or squeal anymore.

Will have to see how they last and post back.
