  Its a good idea to replace the pads early because as they get thinner you take a chance of one of the pads failing and having contact with the brake rotor then instead of just needing brake pad replacement now you need to have the rotor resurfaced or replaced$$$ and always use quality pads and if you use the mycar page on repairpal you can keep track of all your service records. You can get pads replacement prices here www.repairpal.com/estimator and locate a shop here www.repairpal.com/directory
