That's interesting to know. I have a tad under 10k on my Powerslots, so I
haven't run into that problem yet. My stock pads were fine, and my stock
rotors would have lasted a lot longer if I wanted to continue having them
resurfaced regularly. I used the Hawk pads and they've been performing
fine so far. I was thinking about replacing them with the Raybestos pads
when the time comes, but now I think I might just pick up another pair of
Hawks. 30k miles is fine with me -- that's around 3 years with how much I
drive.
