Does anyone know much life I will get out of the front brake pads? I currently have 67,000km on the original front pads and they dont seem to be wearing out quickly at all. Rears are another story, had to change those at 44,000km.
Pad life varies a lot depending on driving conditions and driving habits. I do expect my front pads to go over 50k miles easily while the rear pads might not even reach 45k miles.

You should be able to see the pads from the access panel at the top of the calipers, you may need to turn your wheel to get a better look at it however.
Not a perfect measurement by any means but it will give you a good idea.
Besides your wear indicators will start squeaking on you once they get really low.
My brakes squeal often at parking speeds, but are very easy to see. I can not speak to the OEM pad life. I have ATC OFF in personal mode to keep the rear pads from being used unnecessarily.

I have seen it used many times on several different manufacturers vehicles without removing the wheel but removing the wheel does make it a bit easier.
Since there are several owners running the JB4 with more people adding this mod on a routine basis, I thought it would be a good idea to post map profiles in one place to help others who have just bought or are about to buy a JB4. I think most people would like to see how others have set up...
Hi guys, thought I’d throw this up here since I couldn’t find any feedback before I purchased.
So I initially installed a mufflerless catback system on my Red Sport paired with the AMS lower downpipes. It was a big mistake for me. Thought I wanted loud, turns out I didn’t at all. I made it four...
As I was telling Avedis53, about the Mazda 3, that my wife drives and that it uses 0-20 w, and also 10k between changes. When replacing the oil filter, I said to myself what the heck is this, after checking in to it, it's a Japanese company that's been around since 1956.
Super wierd: i changed my spark plugs on my 2014 q50 from denso to ngk ruthenium, after putting everything back on, the car started then turned off 2 seconds later, took everything back out to check the gap then eventually put the denso back in, the car still shutting off 2 seconds later, the...
I’ve just done the ATF drain and fill according to the full service manual. The liquid was dark black but from what I’ve read in the service manual and online the color is to be expected and since I didn’t spot any metal flakes the trans is probably in good shape.
For background, I have a 2015...
