wow thats fast LOL, try to avoid breaking while in high speed, because that can make the pads wore out fast. :wink:

You guys have some crazy problems. I got one for you...... I have changed my pads around 12000 miles ago and I have this nasty warped pulsating crap going on. Some times it's really bad, some times not and at various different speeds. But all of my pads on all 4 corners are like new and won't wear down. Factory pads but it's blue out of the box, lol. So go figure!!!!!

It's definitely time to start shopping for new rotors or a BB-kit before I get desperate and pay full pop. So anyone need new quality rotors perhaps even a nice BB-kit? Someone start one 'cause I'm interested, hehe.

Brakes...the funniest behaving component of our cars. Mitsubishi should win an award for this.

I noticed your riding on 19" wheels and that may be helping the brake problem. Earlier posts talked about having to use more brake to stop with larger diameter wheels. You may be having to use more brake and wearing out the pads/ rotors faster. You may want to look into the big brake kit or try crossdrilled/ slotted if you haven't yet. The crossdrilled may be a cheaper way to go but may not fix that problem...

Good Luck https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

I suggest you call Mitsubishi head quarters in U.S. here and explain to customer service you problem. Explain to them your history, blah, blah, blah and which dealer and how often. I'm sure they will think of an attack plan and tell you what to do. They should be pretty good about it too. Sorry I don't have their number.

Did you have organic or semi mettalic pads.... that does matter! Sorry to hear they went bad so quick... I guess you saw they were bad? The squeekers were going all the time? Otherwise, they may NOT have been worn down and the dealer took your $$$$!!

well having worn tires in the front can suggest alot. off the top of my head RACING. if you are racing or something u could be putting ur car and your brakes under stresses that is not normal thus causing premature wear or problems in the car. but yea nonetheless, if this happens under normal conditions then thats something else.

What are "caliper slides"? Newly designed calipers? We do have floating calipers already in the 8G.
