2010 LT Brake wear
Curious what kind of mileage is typical before brake pad changeout on a 2010 LT?
If you've done yours, when did you do them, how worn were they and did you do all 4 at teh same time? Thanks

I've been getting some brake squeal for about 6 months and I've just ordered new pads. I've got a '10 LT with 60,000 miles. Picking up Wagner Thermoquiet pads for all four wheels on Tuesday. The stopping power hasn't seemed to decrease but the squeal is getting worse everyday.

before i changed my brakes to the zl1 conversion, I pulled mine off at 20k and i would guess they had 20-30k more.

Changed those brake pads out last Saturday. I could have gone another 50k. But it was an easy change. A floor jack and a 14 mm socket for the caliper and a socket for the lugs. Less than 90 minutes and it was a done deal. No more squeal. Now I can slip through the neighborhood at 5 am with relative ease.

Just swapped my fronts out when I changed my rotors @ 45K. The pads were a little over half way down.

I installed the following at 60K miles:
R1 Rotors (Premium) front and rear Hawks Ceramic pads (yellow) front and rear Motul RBF 600 DOT 4 Brake Fluid 100% synthetic Goodridge Stainless Steel Brake Lines The brakes I took off looked almost new. I travel mostly highway back and forth to work, 70 miles round trip daily. I went with the change because I wanted to upgrade the brake system as it was on my list of mods to do and it was time.

I wish I would have changed the brake lines on my '10 change out but I'll have to claim laziness. They look really good in the pic. I will say after a couple weeks the ThermoQuiets are about 10% better than stock. It's fun to go fast but there is a lot to be said about stopping...
