1 year agoMost stuff was already written but this: Modern Cars brake an awful lot by themselve. Early Cruise Control let you go above your set speed if engine braking wasnt enough, now the Car constantly brakes whenever it reaches a Threshold. Lane assist brakes single discs to keep the Car where it should be, same for torque vectoring.
Most often the rear brakes are used for these systems, so pads in the back get replaced way more than the front, where the big braking power is happening.
If you’d have the (man)power you could push your car in neutral from spain to china and it wouldnt care a single bit.
