Taking a survey on brakes
 

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! [8D]

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:), 4 on brake but 10 on accelerator.
