No lifetime warranty, I had it done by an independent, not a chain shop.

Yea , what's nice about Carquest Pads, their quality ceramics with a copper mix. You update them every other year or so if you please.

The Rotors I purchased are Brembo's. I've been using them since 2005. I took them in to get checked , winter of 2008. They just cleaned them up for me @ no charge. Their still like new. I'm sold on those now. They were $120 for both.

Sounds like you have good pads, but mann, you can't beat updating for free. These twin piston calipers are hard on plate rivets as well. That seems to be the first to let go - "rivets". Depends how hard you are on the brakes I expect, - I've towed quite a bit weight, -quite often. I've needed stopping power, all I can get; -I have that now. About fricken time ehh.
