The Subaru dealership told me a while back that I should replace the pads in all four breaks. When I had it in to a local garage for some muffler work I couldn’t do myself, they told me to replace the rear pads.
So I did. I used Brembo P78014N (113-2600-2) following the prescribed procedure.
Statistics and details:
- Odometer reading: 261249 km
- Left pad thickness: 2.7 mm
- Left rotor thickness: 10.93 mm
- Right pad thickness: 4.27 mm
- Right rotor thickness: 10.39 mm
- Brake pad thickness limit: 1.5 mm
- Rotor thickness limit: 8.5 mm
- New pad thickness: 7.2 mm
It doesn’t seem to have been as urgent as all that; and if I did the measurements correctly, the left pads seem to wear more quickly. I should keep an eye on this in case it indicates a caliper problem.
