CT4-V Brakes at 5mm only 12,000 miles

[BTTBSS]

I took the CT4 BW in for an alignment and the service report recommended new brakes front and rear for only $ 2,500 dollars
New tires because the entire center of the tires was smooth with no tread lol. I priced new OEM pads retail $ 750 per axle. bought
a front set of carbotech XP-10's. Will do the rears later. I drove my XTS-V 122,000 miles relaced the front pads at 70,000 and
the rears needed new pads when I traded it for the BW. I checked the pads my self when I got home and they are down to
about 5mm front and rear. Wonder if anyone else has run through a set of pads this fast.

Wonder if these have the same issue as newer Civic Type-R/Integra Type-S the stability control on those uses brakes excessively. They wear through rear pads entirely too fast.

Test drove a CT4 BW with 20k miles. It had warped rotors. Seeing more premature brake wear threads on the forum but not a reason why other than driving habits which I don't agree with when it's happening across the board.

I'm curious why you're replacing the OE pads with Carbotech XP10s. I was under the impression that the XP10s are for autocross and HPDE.

I HPDE the car and daily drive some. XP-10 are about 1/2 the cost of stock pads. I run them on my C5-Z and 1996 Impala with no issues other than dust.

94-96 Impala SS is on my bucket list. Good fleet.
