Hi
anyone had what they thing is premature brake pad wear on their LS430. Our LS430 2006 needs pads & rotors with less than 30,000 miles. Trying to see what is causing this wear?
Do not see much on search in forum on rapid wear. Nor on Identifix
Regards
Greg

Could very well be how the car is driven. Freeway miles or around town?? I do a lot of freeway driving and have just over 30K on my present set of brakes with about 40% left on the front pads so I'm very pleased with the wear.

The less you use your brakes, the longer they'll last. If you're a "two foot" driver, who rides on their brakes with the left foot, then good luck getting 20K from a pair of pads.
Just pattern, more than miles. With that said, the rotors needing to be swapped out at 30K does seem premature to me because even if pads wear out fast, the rotors should not.
