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.
Hello!
I have a 2014 Q50S Hybrid AWD. Since forever I've had the hybrid system on my car acting up. Essentially, when the car is in EV mode when I start the car (after the battery has charged a little bit), the car does not move. When I tap the gas pedal lightly, the car jerks as it tries to...
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...
I searched but didn't find the answer on this. If I overlooked it please educate me on my searching :)
Anyway, I just replaced my battery and now my DAS light is coming on and the steering is in fail-safe mode (very hard to steer) and has an error on the dash. I did find instructions on...
I'm looking to buy a set of the BC Racing Type BR coilovers for RWD Q60. But I haven't the slightest clue of what the "desired spring rates" are for the front and rear. Can anyone share with me what your recommendations are and why?
Anyone want to share their experiences running e30 or e20 in their car. From what I noticed the car feels sluggish at low rpm pressing on the pedal. and does better in the higher rpm. Also I've noticed the car pulls timing if I press 20% on pedal at low rpm.
