MyPeugeot308 is almost 3yrs OTR and has just clocked 50,000km. Prior to the scheduled service it is the right time to replace front brake pads even though all pads are still usable up to at least 6000km more.
comparison between worn-out and fresh front brakepads
Why 6000km more?
The answer is because the remaining pad thickness is still more than 1 mm above wear limit. For instance, by measurement the average brake pad consumption is around 1 mm/6000km. This guide is valid for genuine pads and only if 308T is not driven on busy streets [or in towns/cities] where the right foot is spent more time on brake pedal than on the accelerator!.
Ready for the installation.
There is not much wear/damage on the stock rotors even after 50,000km of 'abuse'. A little skimming job is good enough to 'recond' them.
I still prefer genuine brake pads.DIY Installation is complete...
