I had my front brakes replaced (rotors and pads) in the middle of Sept to be ready to "slay the Dragon". At the time I had 45K on my car and I'm the original owner. Upon taking them off we were amazed at how much "meat" was really left on the pads, atleast 1/2 according to the mechanic. The rears were ok of coarse, so we left them alone. By the way, anyone who needs my old SVT front rotors let me know
