Any comments about these? My mom's 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Classic needs new brakes at 35,000 miles. I've used these carbon metallic pads on my 1988 Ford Mustang GT for the last 60K miles--I'm going to try them on her car. From what I've seen of them on the Mustang they are a pretty long-wearing brake pad.
She's pretty, uhh, hard on brakes...waiting till the last minute to brake and all of that. On the other hand she does mostly city driving so that could account for it, too. (I think 35K is a bit early for brakes, but maybe not?)
Hopefully these will last longer than 35,000 miles.
I also got the made-in-China Duralast rotors from Autozone, along with the pads. Supposedly carbon metallic pads are best used with new rotors.
