well i dont brake hard because i cant afford to flatspot my tires, but i do drive fast.
in fact i always pump my brakes.
will sometime post pics of my old pads i have the pads at my place.
At 2 200 for front brake pads thats safety, speed and performance guarrantied man , just cheap if i dont change them + the mechanic who doesn't know me nor how i drive said i had 5 000 km left on them
tarox , EBC , etc say always replace pads when 60 % worn - reason being the thinner the pad the faster they heat and over heat resulting in failure , warped/damaged discs and brake fade

Maruti has something called 5 point check and 9 point check, thats all required at 15,000 kms. You should wait for 20 k before you do 20k service at 15k, car is too young.
Brake pads did you check the wear indicator? |
my god !! buddy i am already at 18000 km - i anyway changed my gear oil 4 000 km back man. Its 200 odd bucks . I love my car and drive harder than most people i know i cant be cheap with it , she thanks me for it.
200 rs wheel allignment !!! i didnt do that to my 118 NE !!! thats allignment with STRING !!
Jagu : read properly when did I say 15 k ??Busa said that ! My car was serviced at 17600 Km because she needed it what difference does 2000 KM make? For my and my cars well being.
Have a big feeling you and me are very different people when it comes to cars and driving.
