Just taking a survey on C5 owners

Answer this:
1. How many miles are on your C5?
2. Have you had to replace your brake pads and/or rotors yet?
3. How do you rate heaviness of your foot from 1 to 10 (1 is very light, 10 is you stand on the brakes!)

I have 62,000 miles on mine and am thinking I might need new pads...

Thanks in advance!

if you got 62,000 miles on ANY car, any brake pad, and in any driving style, you should be very happy about it...on my nonner, i have 50k, and im on my third set of pads...but i have a "10" foot.

I've got 40K on mine, still on the original set. My F150 got nearly 70K before I replaced them...if that helps.

If you're not getting the chirping from the sensor, I wouldn't worry about it unless you are looking for a reason to change your rotors

ive got 72k on mine just replaced my factory pads 5k ago, foot level 4. the ceramic pads tend to hod up awhile, i could have gone for awhile longer, i just change them out because i got new tires and figured while i had it up go ahead and change them to save work later. tally 4 sets of tires to 1 set of pads
