Got them at rock auto.
Have about 10k on them and still only showing minimal wear.

Thanks for the post..just ordered these for the rear this week, should be here soon.

Was going to do EBC...but then I saw the price...these seem like a happy medium...better then the OEM and not EBC.

Anytime. I drove a few different vehicles with the Teraflex big brakes before these.
Seems like the really need the bigger resevior to work to there full potential.
Made the pedal feel soft. Maybe it would tighten up with time.

These would actually activate the abs on pavement where as my stockers with the 37's barely would.

Hey Ronin2120, how's the clearance on those calipers? Are you running stock wheels? Thanks!

Sorry to hear that... I have a 2012 with 24k miles and the brakes are still going strong (been on 35x12.50R17's since the beginning).

There are a lot of factors besides tire size that effect pad wear. I've been on 35" since the first six years and now I'm on 37" tires. My pads are on the way out at 30K. That's pretty typical for me in any vehicle with oversized tires. I'm kind of rough on brakes.
