My front brakes last too long
 

I have 80k on my front brakes (07 JK 2dr) and they still have plenty of pad thickness left. These are the original pads in front. Rear has been replaced once. I notice no lack of braking power. I do NOT take it easy on them!
What's up with that? How can this be?

Take it back, dealer can fix your front brake problem. :rotflmao2:

??? Highway miles? I can damn near guarantee you, you wouldn't see that wear time in a city. LOL!!!

I live stop and go traffic every day. I have 55k on the front. Rear had to be done at 20k.

Seems that our JKs bias more of the brake to the rear. I assume it helps keep the nose from diving.

I've got 90k on my fronts with a ton of pad left and my rears were replaced earlier....maybe 50k miles.


So you've got more miles to look forward to on the fronts.

I have 33k on my 11 an just replaced the rears. The front look the same as they came off the assembly line.

I hope to get 80-100k outa the front lol

Whatever u do don't buy the cheap pads because that's all my local parts store had and I was around mere miles from Goin metal to metal so I got them..... Man! They squeak an unGodly squeak! I know I can just replace them again but I don't like throwing money away.... God I hope these wear out fast!

I hear you there,went with oem on the rears at 35k with new rotors since they were done.The fronts on the other hand have 76k still look great:thinking:

I'm at 68k miles and I just did my front pads and replaced front rotors. The pads still had life in them but I had a warped rotor that couldn't be machined so I replaced the pads at the same time. My rear pads still have about 40% life left.
