    Yeah, she's been to the coast a few times, nothin extended though. Plus we get natual salts in the winters here. probably chemically enhanced salt too.

    calipers yeah. something needs to be done, though I've read the inside pads typically get more wear and I thought the outsides were the problem. Thanks
    edit Anyone interested in a pic of the 2 mm of pad material on the inside of the drivers side rotor?

    Is this typically what brakes look like on cars in this region?

    Not at all typical from what I've usually seen at around 30k miles. That's why I paid and continue to pay so much attention to them.
