160000kms and still on the original rear pads?

Hey all is this normal? I think green stuff have been put into the rears. But still i've changed the front more than 5 times, and the rears still have a quarter left on them!!!

The fronts do the majority of the stopping so that sounds about right.

ah ok! So its normal! I just find it weird because a lot of other cars i know of have had rear pay changes multiple times.

quick question...the pads in australia are not made from aspestos...but I know u can get them in other countries.. aspestos is perfect for pads...but as everyone know has some issues...to say the least. Does anyone know if pads imported from say Japan are made from this?? cos they would last a lot longer...and prodcue much less break dust.

i doubt it!

I dont think aspestos would be in any brake compond these days. I dunno just taking a guess!

But the dust they do produce would give pedestrians a nice throaty cough
