Brake Mileage for 2003 Forester

[Todd H.]

Hey W,

I had a similar concern with my 2006 Subaru Forrester and I
subscribed to ALLDATAdiy.com and it has been very useful. I am handy
and like to do things myself and this subscription gives me diagnosis,
repair, TBSs, recalls and labor times. I hope you find it useful -
it's pretty cheap considering the information comes directly from the
manufacturer.

Check it out - I copied the link below for you.

If you want to appear casual about it, posting the same link 4 times
in one day sorta raises red flags.

You're a shill for alldata collecting revenue on your specific
affiliate link until proven otherwise. Please quit spamming the
newsgroup with this faux helpfulness.


Andy apparently is an affliate of this program:

Thanks Rick. Keep Studebkering...

Hi,

I haven't used ceramics on anything yet. An acquaintance retired
recently, after working for a Chevy dealership as a brake mechanic for
years. He said the ceramics were going to "put us out of business" as
they lasted so long--so it sounds like your Silverado experience is
"normal." He also said if you're gonna make the switch to ceramics,
spring for new rotors. Mixing new pads w/ old rotors doesn't work that
well w/ ceramics according to him.

What are the prices of ceramic, and what's the comparison of OEM brakes
versus "typical" others?

I'd be surprised if there were extensive unbiased, expert testing along
those lines. There is a little info here;
http://www.subarureview.com/brake.php?PHPSESSID=fbb7a49d827dae3fb9067907760d5206
but the anecdotal. You could probably read for days in the brake
threads of 3-4 Forums and still not have a good idea. As for prices? I
only briefly looked at that and don't recall. Some of those reviews
mention prices.

another vehicle last week.

What good is this to the OP? He *already* wears out his own brakepads
How's that for DIY

Andy Deil was exposed as little more than a spammer.

What's good about it from Andy Deil's perspective is that Andy doesn't
care. He's an Alldata affiliate looking solely to make commissions
off people buying something from teh link he's spammed us with.

Since I called him out, we haven't seen him round these parts again,
which is good.

I KF'ed him right away, but I might have let him off if he made just one
post and was upfront about the affiliate deal. Alldata IY isn't a bad
source of info, but you need to know up front that you pay for it.
