Default Well, I'd most likely get down and take a look at how much pad I had left.
Just look at your front and rear pads.

LOL. It is not that hard to check. You can even do it with a beer in one hand!

Default Mine came on two days ago .. I bought pads and haven't put them in yet ...
my pads look totally fine in depth but the corners look as though they are crumbling a bit .. just need to find a c-clamp in the garage.

Until you feel metal on metal. That would be a good time to change them.
