    I have stock pads and rotors up front, new pads out back (Wagners) and stock rotors out back. The inner pad hung up and wore out quick on my Z for some reason.

    Aside from that, pad life is crazy on these. 150K is not out of the question.

    Just keep the brakes flushed every 50K and bleed them every 25K and you'll be good to go.

    Bleed and flush? I haven't done that except for when I broke a line about 6 months ago.

    I flushed mine at 50K and was amazed how much better my Z stopped, seriously... for the $9 I spent on fluid it was WELL worth it.

    I guess I need to add this to the to do list. I have been so bad about all the maintenance on my truck . The good thing is, It doesn&#39;t get driven very much anymore.
