actually wondering as well. I'm going to be doing the pads myself tomorrow, and I'm wondering what kinda mileage you can get out of $25.00 brakes.

your brake pads are 25 dollars. The expensive and important part of your brake system is what you should be worrying about lasting.

everyone seems to spell brakes as breaks. What are our school systems coming to? Is this the kind of education we can expect in the future?
