Re: [ST] Rear brake pads knackered!

Just replaced the rear pads in early spring so they couldn't have had more than 3-4K on them. Now my rotor is shot. About $200 for a replacement.

Actually, when I had my 12k service done, the rear pads were still in 
great shape.  The fronts were down to the last 25% or so though...  
Wonder which brake gets the most use?  I've got the stock pads on the 
rear still...
