How long should brakes last?
I have a 2006 300C SRT8 which has the Brembo performance brakes. All along, I noticed a lot of brake dust and actually run the car through the car wash every two days to keep my wheels clean. I have 19,000 miles on the car and the brakes started squeaking about three weeks ago. I took it to the dealer yesterday to check my brakes and was informed that all four rotors need to be replaced as well as all the pads. Total cost for the brake job is $1,600!!!
I was also informed that the rear rotors are on nationwide back order and the dealer needs to keep my car for a week or two until they can get the parts. This makes me think there is a huge demand caused by problematic brakes.
Are other folks only getting less than 20,000 miles on their Brembo brakes?
Is there a harder, less dusty pad that works in the Brembos if i don't really need the high performance brakes?
