Reds really go that fast. I really don't ride my brakes hard either. Could it be possible that my BBS X-drilled/Slotted rotors ate them up faster? I haven't checked them yet, light came on this morning on the way to work, it could be a loose connection but has anyone had Mintex go this fast?

drilled rotors do tend to take on a cheesegrater effect on brake pads. Take off the wheel and have a look. Either the sensor wire came unclipped or your pads are indeed ready to be replaced.

My brake light came on last week and like you I was perplexed because the pads/rotors have been in use for <10k miles. Therefore, I decided to top off the fluid and indeed the light went off.

mine actually broke off on me....how that could happen I have no idea. In the end I just twisted the wires together and did away with the wear sensor.
