Default make sure that they don't brake

if your breaks brake it will be very bad

Default Brake a leg!

I'm sorry. ;-)

How long the pads last depends on how much you brake (or is that break?).

Default Just because the brakes are squealing doesn't mean they're done.

Look at the pads and rotors to see how much material is left. You might only need to put some anti-squeal on the backs of the pads.
