Brake pad replacement %
At what percentage remaining should the front brake pads be replaced? (2000 A4 2.8Q)
It has about 36000 miles. At my last service about 1000 miles ago they were at 30% remaining. But they recently started squeaking a little when I brake, so I'm thinking they may be due.
What should I expect to pay for standard brakes? Any recomendations in San Francisco?
Thanks

A little squeaking is normal...
If you were truly at 30% 1000 miles ago...you've still got a long way to go before you need new pads. If you want to inspect the pads yourself, I would say below 2mm, start looking for new pads. Can't remember what the factor spec says....

should be fine for a while, but when you do i reccomend ebc or mintex redbox
around the same cost as OEM, but less dust... controversial "Better braking" with them.. but i think its the same
