Brother of The Benz, P.E. Haiges
I am one of the most conservative drivers you'll come across.
I ask my self when braking, am I thinking ahead and braking before I arrive at the stop?
I've owned my 300E since new, and I've never got more than 40,000 miles from my front pads, and rotors every other set of pads. I'm still on the original calipers, front and rear.
Ofcourse I don't allow the sensors to alarm.
I use over the counter OE pads from my servicing dealer.
It's amazing the life you are getting from your brakes.
You have a 1980 model year, with how many total miles?
This must just be your second set and at approximately 240,000 miles.
You should go into the record book for long life or I for short life?
Anyway,
Happy Trails Beep Beep from The Spiderman in Houston!!!
